Replace the CLI's Akka.NET ClusterClient transport with a simple HTTP client targeting a new POST /management endpoint on the Central Host. The endpoint handles Basic Auth, LDAP authentication, role resolution, and ManagementActor dispatch in a single round-trip — eliminating the CLI's Akka, LDAP, and Security dependencies. Also fixes DCL ReSubscribeAll losing subscriptions on repeated reconnect by deriving the tag list from _subscriptionsByInstance instead of _subscriptionIds.

ScadaLink CLI
Command-line tool for managing the ScadaLink SCADA system. Connects to a Central node via HTTP and routes commands through the Management API endpoint (POST /management), which dispatches to the ManagementActor. Authentication is handled server-side via LDAP.
Installation
dotnet build src/ScadaLink.CLI
The output binary is scadalink (or scadalink.exe on Windows).
Connection
Every command requires a connection to a running Central node. The management URL can be supplied three ways, evaluated in this priority order:
--urlflag on the command lineSCADALINK_MANAGEMENT_URLenvironment variablemanagementUrlfield in~/.scadalink/config.json
scadalink --url http://central-host:5000 <command>
Docker: With the Docker setup, the Central UI (and management API) is available at http://localhost:9001:
scadalink --url http://localhost:9001 <command>
For HA failover, use a load balancer URL. The management API is stateless (Basic Auth per request), so any central node can handle any request without sticky sessions.
Global Options
These options are accepted by the root command and inherited by all subcommands.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--url <value> |
Management API URL (e.g., http://localhost:9001) |
--username <value> |
LDAP username for authentication |
--password <value> |
LDAP password for authentication |
--format <json|table> |
Output format (default: json) |
Configuration File
~/.scadalink/config.json is loaded at startup. All fields are optional.
{
"managementUrl": "http://localhost:9001"

Architecture Notes
The CLI connects to the Central cluster using Akka.NET's ClusterClient. It does not join the cluster — it contacts the ClusterClientReceptionist on one of the configured Central nodes and sends commands to the ManagementActor at path /user/management.
The connection is established per-command invocation and torn down cleanly via CoordinatedShutdown when the command completes.
Role enforcement is applied by the ManagementActor on the server side. The CLI authenticates against LDAP using --username / --password, resolves LDAP group memberships, then maps groups to ScadaLink roles (Admin, Design, Deployment) via role mappings configured in the security settings. Operations require the appropriate role — for example, creating templates requires Design, deploying requires Deployment. In the test environment, use the multi-role user (password: password) which has all three roles.
Issues & Missing Features
If you encounter bugs, unexpected behavior, or missing features in the CLI, log them in cli_issues.md in the project root. Include a brief description, the command involved, and any relevant error output.
