users.json — saved Security Center credentials ================================================ Both APIBridge.Metro (GUI) and WINKSCData (console) can read a users.json file at startup so you don't have to retype host / username / password every time. Search order (first hit wins): 1. users.json in the same folder as the .exe (portable mode) 2. %APPDATA%\WINKStreaming\users.json (per-user, written by Save) Schema: { "host": "10.18.183.20", "username": "YOUR_SDK_USER", "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD", "useDemoCertificate": false } GUI: open the "Connect to Security Center" tab, fill the fields, click "Save Credentials". Writes to %APPDATA%\WINKStreaming\users.json. Console: command-line args (-h / -u / -p) always win. users.json fills in only the fields you did NOT pass on the command line. This lets scripted/CI runs override what's saved. SECURITY NOTE: users.json stores credentials in PLAIN TEXT. It is written readable only to the current user (NTFS inherits the parent %APPDATA% ACL). If you need stronger protection, do not save credentials and instead pass them on the command line or via environment variables.
