Configure LastPass Universal Proxy 4.x using command line interface (CLI) on Windows

After you have installed LastPass Universal Proxy, you can configure the settings using command line interface (CLI) to use LDAP, LDAPS or RADIUS protocols for forwarding authentication requests. This must be done as an administrator on a Windows server within your infrastructure where Universal Proxy is installed.

Before you begin: Check Set up LastPass Universal Proxy v4.x for more information on downloading and installing LastPass Universal Proxy.

Note: This feature requires an account with the LastPass Business + Advanced MFA add-on. How do I upgrade my LastPass Business account with an add-on?

Note:

Requirements for the configuration process:

Microsoft Windows operating system
Windows PowerShell 3.0 or higher

Note: We recommend to use the CLI tool when configuring Universal Proxy for the first time, as it generates an initial version of the server.properties file. Then, for further configurations you can use the server.properties configuration file.

Open PowerShell and execute the following command:
```
uproxy -configurationTool
```
When the command line window opens, follow the instructions for configuring one of the following protocols:
- LDAP, for more information on the configuration steps using the command line see LastPass Universal Proxy 4.x LDAP configuration using command line on Windows.
- LDAPS, for more information on the configuration steps using the command line see LastPass Universal Proxy v4.x LDAPS configuration using command line on Windows.
- RADIUS, for more information on the configuration steps using the command line see LastPass Universal Proxy 4.x RADIUS configuration using command line on Windows.
Once configured the server.properties configuration file is created with the settings in the C:\Program Files\LastPass\Universal Proxy\conf folder. For more information on how to use this file for configuration, see Configure LastPass Universal Proxy 4.x with the server.properties configuration file without using the CLI tool on Windows.

After each configuration with the CLI tool a new server.properties file is created and the previous configuration is saved in a server.properties_backup_timestamp file.
