Launcher

Windows launcher

When installing the Trust1Connector you will have a launcher executable. This executable takes care of a couple of things;

  • Starting the Trust1Connector

  • Stopping the Trust1Connector

  • Migration (makes sure file-exchange is kept between installation)

Below you can find an output of the flags and options that can be used;

most used variables to just managing the Connector are --stop --restart --env [env]. The other flags are used to customize the Connector

t1c-launch.exe
Trust1Connector launcher 3.8.6
Trust1Team <development@trust1team.com>
Launcher for the Trust1Connector

USAGE:
    t1c-launch [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [ARGS]

FLAGS:
    -d, --debug             Enables Debug mode (additional endpoints ex. '/decrypt' available)
        --ds.reg            Enables the use of the Distribution service Registry (only in online mode) -
                            ds.server_address MUST be provided - there is no default DS
        --enable.curl       Enables the use of CURL for DS communication (enabling NTLM or SSPI on Windows). Fallback on
                            regular DS communication.
        --enable.jwt        Enables the use of JWT validation middleware on the API server. No use cases can be
                            performed without sending a valid JWT from the consumer request. The JWT must be issued by
                            the configured DS.
    -f                      Enables the use for the file logger.
        --fix.dns.rebind    When added, the API will verify the DNS on the local device, when failing: try to update
                            host file, asking user for admin permissions
        --fix.ssl.direct    When added, the API will check the validity of the SSL certificate on startup.
    -h, --help              Prints help information
        --http              Runs the API and Registry (if enabled) in HTTP mode (no mTLS)
        --migrate           Executes the migrate functionality which will cleanup the current installation
        --nofilex           Writes a marker file (nofilex.marker) to Program Files folder, denoting the inactivation of
                            the file exchange module in shared environment
    -q                      Overrides file log and uses a console subscriber instead (tokio-console) to view the tracing
                            logs in detail.
        --remove-launchd    Removes the launchd configuration from the system (Only on MacOS)
        --restart           Restart the Trust1Connector
        --silent            silent mode which will not hide the console window
        --skip-kill         Skips killing the processes upon start|restart|stop|migrate
    -z, --standalone        Disables Registry, runs only in standalone mode without support for multi-host sessions
        --stop              Stop the running instance
    -V, --version           Prints version information

Start the Trust1Connector

To start the trust1connector you can execute the following, be aware that the command option depends on which environment you have installed. Below you can find in comments which environment will be triggered.

When the start command is executed the Trust1Connector will first stop the running instances before starting.

Running the launcher as a different environment from which you have installed will not work

# production
t1c-launch.exe

# acceptance
t1c-launch.exe --env acc

# develop
t1c-launch.exe --env dev

Stop the Trust1Connector

Similar like starting the Trust1Connector you can manually stop this. This is done via the -s flag

Running the launcher as a different environment from which you have installed will not work

# production
t1c-launch.exe --stop

# acceptance
t1c-launch.exe --env acc --stop

# develop
t1c-launch.exe --env dev --stop

Migration

Migration is a function that will make sure that some data is retained between installation, such as the file-exchange configuration.

This function is automatically executed when uninstalling the Trust1Connector.

We do not advise to run this on your own as this can impact the running installation

If you need to run this you can do the following commmands, here again it depends on the environment option

# production
t1c-launch.exe --migrate

# acceptance
t1c-launch.exe --env acc --migrate

# develop
t1c-launch.exe --env dev --migrate

MacOS launcher

When installing the Trust1Connector you will have a launcher executable. This executable takes care of a couple of things;

  • Starting the Trust1Connector

  • Stopping the Trust1Connector

  • Migration (makes sure file-exchange is kept between installation)

MacOS launcher has the same functionality but works differently in the background. It will use launchd to start/run the Connector.

Below you can find an output of the flags and options that can be used;

most used variables to just managing the Connector are --stop --restart --env [env]. The other flags are used to customize the Connector

Start the Trust1Connector

To start the trust1connector you can execute the following, be aware that the command option depends on which environment you have installed. Below you can find in comments which environment will be triggered.

When the start command is executed the Trust1Connector will first stop the running instances before starting.

Running the launcher as a different environment from which you have installed will not work

# production
./t1c-launch

# acceptance
./t1c-launch --env acc

# develop
./t1c-launch --env dev

Stop the Trust1Connector

Similar like starting the Trust1Connector you can manually stop this. This is done via the -s flag

Running the launcher as a different environment from which you have installed will not work

# production
./t1c-launch --stop

# acceptance
./t1c-launch --env acc --stop

# develop
./t1c-launch --env dev --stop

Migration

Migration is a function that will make sure that some data is retained between installation, such as the file-exchange configuration.

This function is automatically executed when uninstalling the Trust1Connector.

We do not advise to run this on your own as this can impact the running installation

If you need to run this you can do the following commmands, here again it depends on the environment option

# production
./t1c-launch --migrate

# acceptance
./t1c-launch --env acc --migrate

# develop
./t1c-launch --env dev --migrate

Check if the Trust1Connector is running via launchd

If you want to check if the launchd API is running you can do the following;

# list the launchd instances and then grep the t1t
launchctl list | grep t1t

# The following should have a similar output, the 2nd number will be a different number when the Trust1Connector is not starting correctly
    64832	0	com.t1t.t1c.api

The output will have 3 parameters;

  1. PID of the running instance, will be 0 if not running

  2. Error code of the instance, will be 0 if none

  3. name of the launchd program

If you have an error code and the PID is 0, please contact support.

An error code can occur and will remain visible in the launchctl command. As long as the instance has a valid PID it means the Trust1Connector is running as expected.

That error code can indicate a crash from the past.
