in savetoken Java CLI, there is an option "authid", it's not clear to me on the documentation, what is this actually ? is this something that i set when i create user token from Netsuite page ?
another one is the "url" option, where can i get the url from ? is it the same url that i see in my browser after i login ?

It's an alias. You can give it a name to the authentication so you can use that same alias in the future

Url is not mandatory and will be deprecated soon

<@UAA1TMMTR> Thanks for clarifying.
I just tried
`sdfcli savetoken -account xxxxx_SB1 -authid sandboxDev`
and the response is
`Invalid option "-authid".` 
I'm using cli-2020.1.1.jar , i suppose the authid is deprecated as well ?

If you use authid, I believe you don't need account

The CLI will figure out the account for you (if I remember correctly)

If you just run `sdfcli authenticate -authid xyz` this will open web Authentication

The confusion with `savetoken` command is that right now we are supporting old and new methods to save token. The command you mentioned above will not work as its a mixture of new and  old structure.

The old was (soon to be deprecated): 
`Sdfcli savetoken -tokenid -tokensecret` `-account -url` etc. This doesn't support authid

The new command structure with authid
`Sdfcli authenticate -savetoken - authid xyz -tokenid xys -tokensecret` `xyx -account`

<@UFUCXSXCJ> noted, i will give the authenticate a try
