I have now fixed this -s "config.connectionUrl=[\"${LDAPHOST}\"]" Regards, Jamie On Wednesday, 1 August 2018, 15:24:12 GMT, Jamie McDowell <jambo_mcd(a)yahoo.co.uk&gt; wrote: Hi, I am trying to add a variable as part of my kcadm. As an example this is for adding the connectionURL from an environment variable.

I have tried various ways using single quotations, double quotations but just cant seem to get this to populate with the correct output. Regards, Jamie
