Is it possible to set a user name and password in a Room Controls json config file for authentication to the target device? Many corporations will not allow open ports with no authentication on their networks. Thanks for the help. ---

Hey @marc.h, Thank you for reaching out to Zoom Developer Support. Have you had a chance to review [this documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/zoom-rooms/zoom-rooms-cli) that covers using the Zoom Rooms CLI? If you don’t see the functionality listed there, it likely is not included in the functionality. I hope that helps! If you still have questions or the documentation is unclear, please let me know and I’ll be happy to find an answer for you. Thanks, Max ---
