Introduction
The DEON Windows client can be configured manually during runtime or via parameters during installation or deployment. The latest client installers are available at https://cloud.deon.eu/Web/Home/Download.
Manual configuration
Manual configuration is done in the client login mask by clicking on Server below the login fields. In the following dialogue, the HTTPS host of the server name is entered and confirmed with OK.
If domain authentication is used, DEON must now be restarted. Once this is done, the logon to the DEON server should will happen automatically with the logged in domain user on the client machine.
Configuration during client installation
You can also set parameters during the installation. The available options differ between the portable (exe) and the MSI installer.
MSI installer:
msiexec /i Deon_Windows-x64_2.9.XX.XXX.msi /q HOSTNAME=HTTPS-Host
The host name (server name) is stored on the client in the Windows registry and can’t be changed manually in the application by the user. However, If you define multiple semicolon-separated host names, the user can choose between them.
| Parameter | Value | Function |
| HOSTNAME | Server-Name | Semicolon separated server names, which serve as default for the client. Manual switching to another different server is then no longer possible. |
| RUN_NOTIFIER | 1 (default) | Notifier (Tray application) is started after a successful installation in the user context. |
| 0 | Notifier will not start after installation. | |
| CREATE_DESKTOPSHORTCUTS | 1 (default) | A desktop shortcut is created for all users. |
| 0 | No desktop shortcut is created. |
Portable installer (exe):
Deon_Windows-x64_2.9.XX.XXX{HOSTNAME}.exe -silent -noRun -acceptEula -noDesktopShortcut
The hostname (server name) can be inserted in the filename in curly braces. This is optional.
| Parameter | Function |
| -silent | Only minimal UI will show up during installation. |
| –noRun | After the installation DEON will not start automatically. |
| -acceptEula | EULA will not be shown during the installation. |
| -noDesktopShortcut | No desktop shortcut will be created. (Available in version 2.9.1699 and higher) |
