By default, the Emakin agent is configured to run as windows service or daemon mode but it can be run in CLI (Command Line Interface) mode.
CLI interface provides additional options for configuration or diagnostics.

Configuration Commands
setconfig
Sets a configuration setting in an encrypted format.
.\AltiKare.Workflow.Agent.exe setconfig <key> <value>
By default, all configuration parameters are stored in plain text JSON files but sensitive settings like database connection string can be encrypted if needed. Encrypted settings are stored in this path and overwrite the previous layers.
<installdir>/Configuration/Custom/protectedsettings.json
Encrypted configuration settings can be only written and cannot be read back. If you lost this file all values are cannot be retrieved.
For example, the database connection string can be set with;
.\AltiKare.Workflow.Agent.exe setconfig DbConnStr 'Host=myserver;Database=emakin;Username=emakin;Password=mypassword;'
After this command is executed a new protectedsettings.json file is created in the ‘Configuration/Custom’ directory and stores the encrypted connection string.
{
"DbConnStr": "CfDJ8L..........6PT0Kw="
}
Any configuration value from <installdir>/appsettings.json file can be set with setconfig parameter and child sections can be specified with “:” qualifier.
.\AltiKare.Workflow.Agent.exe setconfig Section:SubSection:Key Value
