I need to connect to DACS infrastructure through Java.

Based on the tutorials there is method openDaemonConnection(String authorizationName, String authorizationAgentName)

which connects to DACS daemon. Here I'm not sure how to configure DACS daemon in Windows environment.

    Hello @Balwant

    the openDaemonConnection() method of the tutorial application is to
    initiate a connection to DACS Sink
    Daemon and verify if the application can connect to DACS Sink Daemon successfully.
    Both parameters are hard code as shown below:

    client.openDaemonConnection("DACS", "dacsTutorial");

    If you look into the tutorial source code, you will find that the method reads DACS Sink Daemon’s host and port from the variable named _daemonHost:

    AuthorizationSystem.setProperty("dacs.daemon", _daemonHost);

    _daemonHost can be set by the value coming after argument -D
    in getCmdParams(String[] args) method:

    if ("-D".equals(args[i])) {
        _daemonHost = args[++i];
        continue;
    } else if ("-S".equals(args[i])) {

    Hence, to run the tutorial application to connect to
    DACS Sink Daemon on Windows machine e.g. ip 192.168.27.44 at port 8211.
    The programming arguments to run the application should be:

    -D 192.168.27.44:8211 -u [USER_NAME] -p [POSITION] -a [APPLICATION_ID]
