6.2 Commands

Use with

Startup, Terminal Launcher, Web or Windows

Type

Action

Arguments

Method

The name of the advanced authentication method you wish to use. If not specified, AAVerify uses the method that was chosen during initial authentication to the directory.

User

The name of the user you wish to use for the AAVerify command. If not specified, AAVerify re-authenticates the currently logged on user.

Tree

The name of the tree the user is in. You must use this with the User argument.

Description

Use AAVerify with SecureLogin re-authentication, Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS), or Novell Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to verify the user. It is typically used before the application user name and password are retrieved and entered into the login box.

This provides application re-authentication using a strong login method. For example, a user might be forced to enter their smart card and PIN before the application will log on using SSO, even though the application natively knows nothing about smartcard and PIN. If the verification succeeds, the [?Result] is set to true, otherwise it is set to false. These additions are for SecureLogin and NMAS.

SecureLogin re-authentication may use one of the following methods:

You can specify more than one method arguments. A user is allowed to re‑authenticate with any of the specified methods. For example, you can use the command to request authentication using a fingerprint reader or smart card.

NMAS or Novell LDAP-specific

The method should be the name of the sequence as defined in the environment.

If AAVerify is called with no arguments, then the currently logged in user is re‑authenticated using different login methods based on the following scenarios:

Example 1

Windows application definition

This example detects the login dialog box. Before SecureLogin enters credentials, it prompts the user to provide the re-authentication credentials. The credentials are not submitted until the re-authentication succeeds.

# Logon Dialog Box
Dialog
   Title "Log on"
EndDialog
AAVerify -Method "Enhanced Password" ?Result
If ?Result Eq "True"
   Type $Username #1001
   Click #1
Else
   Click #2
   MessageBox "Authentication failed. Please verify your smart card is inserted and your PIN is correct."
EndIf

Example 3

Windows application definition

The following example shows how to re-authenticate against the user's login method:

Dialog
   Title "Log on"
EndDialog

Use with

Web, WinSSO, JavaSSO and .NetSSO workers.

Type

Action

Web usage

Click <#Number>

Description

When used with Windows applications, the Click command sends a click instruction to the specified <#Ctrl-ID>.

You can set the –Raw flag if the button or control does not respond to the Click command. The –Raw flag causes SecureLogin to emulate the mouse and send a direct click message to the control. Using the -Right flag with the -Raw flag sends a right-click to the control.

Setting the <#Ctrl-ID> to 0 (zero) sends the click instruction to the window on which the application definition is running.

If -Raw is specified, then you can set the X coordinate and the Y coordinates. These coordinates are relative to the client area of the application, not the screen.

When used with web application definitions, the Click command takes a single argument, which is the sequential number on the page of the button to be pressed. Click #3 will click the third button on the page. Due to the web page layout and design, the sequential order of the buttons may not be obvious, and you may have to use the DumpPage command to discover the field layout (see DumpPage).

Example 1

Windows application definition

This example detects the login dialog box, the user name and password are entered, and button number 1 (in this case the logon button) is clicked.

# Logon Dialog Box
Dialog   
Class #32770  
Title "Log on"
EndDialog
Type $Username #1001
Type $Password #1002
Click #1

Example 3

Windows application definition

This example uses the Java application, so there is no control ID. Instead, the Click command is told to click a particular place on the window.

# Logon Dialog Box

Usage 2

SetPlat <RegEx> <Variable> <#Ctrl-ID>

Description

By default, variables are stored directly against the platform or application on which you have SecureLogin enabled. For example, if you enable Groupwise.exe, the Groupwise credentials are stored against the Groupwise.exe platform.

SetPlat sets the platform or application from which variables are read and saved if you have:

Other uses of SetPlat include:

For information regarding regular expressions see:

www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_33_1/libs/regex/doc/syntax_perl.html

When the user has run the application definition, they will see the user name and password saved as www.serversystems.com. The text matched inside the brackets then becomes the symbol application. If a dialog <#Ctrl-ID> is not specified, the symbol application is unconditionally changed to the application specified in <RegEx>. An unconditional SetPlat command is only valid if specified before Dialog/EndDialog statements.

Use with

Advanced Web/Web Wizard Script application definitions created using the Web Wizard.

Type

Action

Arguments

Site

The Site/EndSite commands are used to match a particular site given a set of filters. Site/EndSite usage is much the same as the Dialog/EndDialog commands found in the windows scripting commands.

Name

Name is a static string used to denote the site being matched. The Name cannot be a variable and the same value can be used by multiple Site commands to specify a match for the same site under differing conditions.

-userid "userid"

Specifies the default set of credentials to be used for this site block.

-initial

Specifies that this site block will only match the first time.

-subsequent

Specifies that this site block will only match after an initial match has already been made.

Description

Site/EndSite begins and ends a site definition, similar to the Dialog/EndDialog commands used in Windows application definition scripts. There can be multiple site definitions within a single advanced web application script to identify different sites within the same domain.

Site/EndSite blocks are used to define all the parameters SecureLogin would expect to find on a Web page to run the application definition.

'Match' commands can be used to filter a given site. If one of the contained match commands fails to match, then the site block fails to match as a whole.

Example 2

This simple example will match the website www.google.com, match the login form fields and logs on to the user’s account using the user’s e-mail address, password, and don't remember checkbox unchecked.

# === Logon Application Definition #2 ==
# === Google Initial Logon ====

Type

Action

Windows usage

Type <Text> [<#Ctrl-ID>]

Type [-Raw] <Text>

Type [-order] <Text> [<#Order-ID>]

Type [-msg] <Text> [<#Ctrl-ID>]

Arguments

[-Raw]

By default, when typing into a terminal emulator or Windows application, SecureLogin verifies that the window exists before continuing. This verification process is disabled when the -Raw argument is provided. Furthermore, instead of setting the text in the field directly, the -Raw argument simulates actual keystrokes, causing SecureLogin to type into whichever window has focus.The ‑Raw argument can also be used in a Web application. The -Raw argument attempts to type the text into the window that owns the Web page (Internet Explorer or Firefox) and works the same as -Raw on Windows applications.

[-order]

If the control ID's are not constant, utilize the -order argument to instruct SecureLogin to type into a control based on the creation order and not the tab order. For more information about the -order argument usage, see Example 5.

[-msg]

The -msg argument can be used when a Type command is sending the data correctly, but the application is not successfully reading the data. The -msg argument will only work in Windows applications as the argument simulates the keys being pressed (that is, key down, character, key up). The -msg argument sends the data character by character versus sending the text string all at once. This -msg option is often useful for older Windows applications, particularly old versions of Lotus Notes.

<Text>

The text to type into this area. This text can be static text, such as ABC, or any SecureLogin variable, such as $Username.

[<#Ctrl-ID>]

For Windows application definitions, this optional argument specifies the control into which to type the text. Use the Window Finder to extract these control IDs. For more information, see Windows specific.

[<#Order-ID>]

For Windows application definitions, this parameter specifies which control based on the creation order in which to type the text.

Description

Use the Type command to enter data such as user names and passwords into applications. There are reserved character sequences that are used to type special characters, for example Tab and Enter. If it is not possible to determine control IDs in a Windows application, and the Type command is not working, use the SendKey command instead.

Example 2

Windows application definition

This example shows the use of the -Raw argument. This argument is not actually required for the application but is used as an example.

# Calculator Is Active
Dialog
   Class #SciCalc
   Title "Calculator"
EndDialog

Type -Raw "15"
Type -Raw "+"
Type -Raw "20"
Type -Raw "="

Example 4

Windows application definition

The following syntax examples compare and contrast the use of the various Type command arguments.

Type #1 "text"

Will type text into control with ID of 1

Type #1 "text" -order

Will type text into the first control drawn in the application dialog window.

Type #1 "text" -msg

Will type text character by character into the first control with an ID of 1.

Type #1 "text" -raw
Type #1 "text" -focus

Ignores the unused parameter #1

Example 6

Web application definition

This example shows the use of the HTML type password as an argument to find the appropriate Password field.

Type $Username
Type $Password Password

In the application definition above, the SecureLogin agent locates the first password field. The first Type command sends $Username to the field immediately before the password field. The second Type command sends $Password to the password field. The same application definition could be rewritten using absolute placement as shown below. In the following example, the Submit command is also used to automatically submit the page.

Type $Username #1
Type $Password #2
Submit

Use with

Windows

Type

Flow control

Arguments

<#Ctrl-ID>

The ID number of the control with the focus.

[<Repeat-Loops>]

The number of repeat-loops that will run.

Syntax examples

WaitForFocus #301
WaitForFocus #301 "2000"
WaitForFocus #301 "0"
WaitForFocus #301 "-1"

Example 2

This example has the WaitForFocus command suspend the running of the application definition until control ID #15 is reached and a message box with “love” should appear.

## BeginSection: "Logon Window"
Dialog
  Class "Notepad"
  Title "Untitled - Notepad"
EndDialog

Setprompt "Optional:"
# Here the correct ID with the loops set to 0
WaitForFocus #15 0
Set ?thu "love\me"
RegSplit "(.*)\\(.*)" ?thu ?Domain ?User
MessageBox ?Domain
## EndSection: "Logon Window"

Use with

Terminal Emulator

Type

Flow control

Arguments

<Text>

The text for which the application definition is waiting.

Example

Terminal Launcher application definition

This command instructs SecureLogin to wait for the text ogin: to appear on the emulator screen before entering the user name. It will then wait for password: to display before entering the password.

The WaitForText cuts off the first character because it finds both Password and password, and responds to all password entry points.

WaitForText "ogin:"
Type $Username
Type @E
WaitForText "assword:"
Type $Password
Type @E
