'IWCLT_PASSWORD' variable in "iwauthen.exe"

Kety

Hi All,
I am using "iwauthen.exe" CLT to authenticate username & pasword of user in my cgi.In this command the password is passed to this CLT
by the environment variable IWCLT_PASSWORD.
I have tried to get this environment variable in my cgi by using $ENV as follows:-
my $pass =$ENV{'IWCLT_PASSWORD'};
I have tried cgi cookie also as:-
my $pass = $cgi->cookie('IWCLT_PASSWORD');

But, both not returning any value in $pass.
So, does any one knows how to set this environment variable "IWCLT_PASSWORD"?
Any help is appreciated....

You've got it backward. It is your responsibility to SET IWCLT_PASSWORD Environment Variable if you want to use iwauthen.

There is absolutely nothing in TS to provide you with the User password - and rightfully so. Any mechanism
of that nature would have been a colossal security breach. You have to know a password to authenticate
UID - it is that simple.

The best you can do is perhaps ask for authentication info in your CGI Form (UID/Password or perhaps only Password
if you can obtain UID by other means), get it in the Script through CGI, set IWCLT_PASSWORD and see if iwauthen likes it.
