You can refresh the DAS configuration through the command line using the ARS/refresh command. For example, ARS.exe/refresh, refreshes ARS.exe.

The other way to refresh the DAS configuration is to restart the ARSControl.exe process or reboot the workstation. The ARS/refresh command provides a better to manage your environments and does not force a reboot when you make an update to the actions.xml file.

You can close DAS through the command line using the ARS /shutdown command. For example, ARS.exe /shutdown, shuts down the ARSControl.exe

Set up the actions.xml file by using the standard template provided in the Tools folder or modify the file based on the use case scenarios that you have developed with your users.

You can have different actions.xml files managed locally on the unique workstations that have special use cases and common workstations pointing to eDirectory.

Set up the eDirectory and iManager after you have stabilized your actions.xml and wish to centrally manage the configuration file. For more information, see Extending the Schema for eDirectory and Section 10.0, Accessing iManager and Installing the iManager Plug-In.

Set up the workstation to have auto-admin login to a local workstation ID.

Provide a logout button in the Windows quick launch tool bar and provide a logout icon on the desktop for the convenience of the users. You can also provide a hotkey combination such as Ctrl+L.

For example, shortcut target =“C:\Program Files\Novell\SecureLogin\Desktop Automation Services\ARS.exe” logoff. This is your shortcut properties target setting.
