Working with CLI Scripting

The CLI is designed to provide a powerful scripting environment for performing repetitive tasks.

You can use Batching Commands or Scripting Commands (or some combination), but in any case the automated infrastructure requires automated access to the appliance. This must be done by user configuration, user authorizations, and setting SSH public keys using the CLI.

For information about configuring users, see the following:

• Configuring Users

• User Authorizations
