2. Set values for configuration properties with the config set command.

   For example, set the autoconnect-url property so that the CLI automatically connects to that URL.

   Note

   For remote connections, specify the URL and provide credentials:

   • http[s]://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port> for basic authentication.
   • http[s]://<token>@<hostname>:<port> for OAuth authentication.

   bin/cli.sh config set autoconnect-url http://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:11222
