Useful PIA Servlet Directives

There are several “hidden” PIA servlet commands that can be used to perform several key actions when maintaining a PIA webserver. The “pwd” parameter comes from the custom tab on the web profile configuration page. The default value is “dayoff”. The easiest way to get the correct URL is to visit your login page and then insert the desired “cmd” value.

Note: These are case sensitive.
