[You want to use antoher ILIAS instance? Read here!](#other-ilias-instances)
However, the CLI only lets you download a single thing at a time, and the
resulting command can grow long quite quickly. Because of this, PFERD can also
be used with a config file.

# Other ILIAS instances
PFERD was originally developed for the KIT ILIAS instance, so you might have to adapt some parts of the code for full compatibility with your instance.
To run PFERD against any instance using the integrated ILIAS authentication, simply add the `--base-url` and `--client-id` flags to the CLI command, e.g.
```
$ pferd ilias-web --base-url https://ilias.my-university.example --client-id My_University desktop <output_directory>
```
To use a config file for the given instance, just extend the example above as follows:
```ini
[auth:ilias]
... # same as described above
[crawl:ExampleCourse]
type = ilias-web
auth = auth:ilias
target = 1337420
# instance related settings
base_url = https://ilias.my-university.example
client_id = My_University
```
## Example configuration
Inspired by [this ILIAS downloader](https://github.com/V3lop5/ilias-downloader/blob/main/configs), the following configurations should work out of the box for the corresponding universities:
| University | `base_url` | `client_id` |
|---------------|--------------------------------------|---------------|
| FH Aachen | https://www.ili.fh-aachen.de | elearning |
| Uni Koeln | https://www.ilias.uni-koeln.de/ilias | uk |
| Uni Konstanz | https://ilias.uni-konstanz.de | ILIASKONSTANZ |
| Uni Stuttgart | https://ilias3.uni-stuttgart.de | Uni_Stuttgart |
### My university isn't listed
No problem, your university might also just work fine. To retrieve the values required for your instance, navigate to the corresponding login page. You should be redirected to
```jinja
{{ base_url }}/login.php?client_id={{ client_id }}&cmd=force_login&lang=
```
From this URL, you can simply extract your required values. Feel free to open a PR to add your configuration to the table above. This will help people find out if their ILIAS instance is supported too.
