Introduction
The DEON Windows client can be configured manually during runtime or via parameters during installation or deployment. The latest client installers are available under https://cloud.deon.eu/Web/Home/Download available.
Manual Configuration
The manual configuration is performed in the client login screen by clicking on Server under the login fields. In the following dialog, 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 completed, the login to the DEON server should automatically occur with the logged-in domain user on the client computer.
Configuration during Client Installation
You can also set parameters during 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 hostname (server name) is stored on the client in the Windows registry and cannot be manually changed by the user in the application. However, if you define multiple hostnames separated by semicolons, the user can choose between them.
| Parameter | Value | Function |
| HOSTNAME | Server Name | Semicolon-separated server names that serve as the default for the client. Manual switching to another server is then no longer possible. |
| RUN_NOTIFIER | 1 (Default) | Notifier (Tray application) is started after successful installation in the user context. |
| 0 | Notifier is not started 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 curly brackets in the file name. This is optional.
| Parameter | Function |
| -silent | During installation, only a minimal user interface is displayed. |
| –noRun | After installation, DEON does not start automatically. |
| -acceptEula | EULA is not displayed during installation. |
| -noDesktopShortcut | No desktop shortcut is created. (Available in version 2.9.1699 and higher) |
