This toolset is intended to be used in Linux environments. Alternatively it can be used in Windows environments with activated WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) and installed Ubuntu or Debian for example from Microsoft Store. You can also use Cygwin.

Following commands are required:

To use this toolset run the following steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/JuergenOrth/ISMtools.git
$ cd ISMtools

or extract this ZIP file.

Set the variables ISM, USER and PASSWD by editing .ism_env at least. Alterntively you can define environment vars ISM_VA and ISM_CRED to define the ISM virtual appliance address and user credentials respectivlely.

Syntax:

ISM_VA=[ISM_IP|ISM_HOSTNAME|ISM_FQDN][:ISM_PORT]
e.g.
ISM_VA=myism.example.com	# Port will be $ISM_PORT in this case
ISM_VA=192.168.1.2:1433
ISM_VA=:433

ISM_CRED=[USER][:PASSWORD]
e.g.
ISM_CRED=:verysecret	# user will be $USER in this case
ISM_CRED=smith:somesecret
ISM_CRED=foo		# password will be $PASSWD in this case

$ chmod go-rwx .ism_env	# for security
$ vi .ism_env		# or any other editor you prefer

$ ./ism_gfupdate
