Automated configuration of clients

The following commands can be used to:

Update the license key on the client

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.j2anywhere.addressBookClient LicenseKey ABC-ABC-ABC-ABC

Switch to Complete mode. Other options are Auto

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.j2anywhere.addressBookClient SyncMode Complete

The following command can be used to change the host address of the server to which the client connects. If you change the address you have to be certain you are not switching between different server, as this will destroy the sync sequence. You can use this command to switch between the external and internal address of the same server for example, or use it after transferring the server onto a new computer.

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.j2anywhere.addressBookClient HostName http://IP-ADDRESS:8080/AddressBookService

Change the sync interval on the client. After making a change to the sync schedule you need to reload the configuration using the next two commands

defaults write ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.addressbookserver.client.tool StartInterval 1800

Disable sync schedule

launchctl unload -S AQUA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.addressbookserver.client.tool.plist

Enable sync schedule

launchctl load -S AQUA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.addressbookserver.client.tool.plist

Change to Sync Manual on Demand rather then Auto on Change. If you want to switch to manual mode you also need to disable and re-register the client using the appropriate command for the mode.

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.j2anywhere.addressBookClient SyncType ManualSyncOnDemand

Disable the client

/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBookClient/UnregisterAddressBookClient

Enable client in Manual on Demand mode. The client will sync as per sync schedule or on demand

/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBookClient/RegisterAddressBookClientInManual

Enable the client in Automatic Mode which syncs as and when changes are mode to either Address Book or iCal as well as per sync schedule or on demand

/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBookClient/RegisterAddressBookClient
