Hi there,

Is there any way to set a set-up key from a terminal, without need to configuring it via web browser. I assume it is possible via API, but I am not a subscriber of enterprise version. Thanks

The setup key is not need from the CLI. The server can be configured by either setting the URI in `/etc/pritunl.conf` or running the command `sudo pritunl set-mongodb MONGO_URI`. Then run `sudo systemctl restart pritunl`.
