# Using the Inteactive Tcl Command Prompt

To use dpadmincmd interactively

1. To launch an interactive Tcl command prompt, do one of the following:
  - On Windows, open a Command Prompt windows and navigate to %PROGRAMFILES%\VASCO\IDENTIKEY Authentication Server\bin.
  - On Linux, open a terminal and navigate to /usr/bin/.
2. Type the following command:

dpadmincmd

This will open a Tcl command prompt, where you can enter Tcl commands. Tcl Command-Line Administration tool automatically loads the OneSpan Tcl extensions, so that they can be used without needing to specify the OneSpan 'namespace'.

3. Before any data administration commands will work, you need to perform an administrative logon to the OneSpan Authentication Server instance.

% logon { userid userid password password }

If the logon is successful, the output will indicate a session number. Otherwise, an error message will be displayed.
4. Once there has been a successful logon, you can enter other commands, for example:

% user query {userid admin}

{domain master userid admin has_dp Unassigned status 0 created {2006/05/11 11:05:32} modified {2006/05/11 11:05:32}}
5. To log off from the session, use the logoff command. To exit, use the exit command.
