SanteDB Administration Console

The SanteDB iCDR administrative console is a client tool which allows system administrators to quickly manage their iCDR instances from a command line. This tool is useful when:

  • Internet connectivity is extremely limited and text interface is preferred

  • You need to save output/reports for administrative functions to files

  • You have not yet setup the web-based administrative portal

Starting the Console

You can launch the command line on the same machine as the iCDR service from the start menu or by typing the sdbac command in the command line. If you need to connect to a different server/realm the basic syntax is:

sdbac --realm=<server-ip-or-name> --port=<port> [--tls] 

The command line options for sdbac are listed below:

Short

Long

Description

-r

--realm

The server/realm to which you're connecting.

-a

--appId

has not been enabled by the system administrator.

-s

--secret

The application secret if the default has been changed by the administrator

--port

The port to connect to the iCDR API on

-t

--tls

If specified, instruct the console administrative application to connect

via TLS

-u

--user

The username to login with

-p

--password

The password to use for authentication

-v

When present, output all server and client events with full stack traces

-x

When specified, instructs the client to send client credentials via HTTP BASIC

rather than through the request body of the OAUTH request.
