Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How-To Check & Filter user input Post 302772372 by mohtashims on Monday 25th of February 2013 08:29:24 AM

let me try to make you understand.

Situation 1: The user only inputs "Weblogic" Then the $2, $3 $4 are the pid, username and password for weblogic [./script.sh weblogic 34522 user1 pswd]

Situation 2: If the user Enters both Apache and Weblogic then $4, $5, $6 are the pid username and password [./script.sh apache /opt/apache22 weblogic 34522 user1 pswd].

Also, I mentioned that weblogic input can be 3 or 5 params long.

How will this be achieved ?

SYNOPSIS

       htdigest [ -c ] passwdfile realm username

SUMMARY

       htdigest  is  used to create and update the flat-files used to store usernames, realm and password for digest authentication of HTTP users.
       Resources available from the Apache HTTP server can be restricted to just the users listed in the files created by htdigest.

       This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of the directives necessary to configure digest authentication in httpd
       see the Apache manual, which is part of the Apache distribution or can be found at http://httpd.apache.org/.

OPTIONS

       -c     Create the passwdfile. If passwdfile already exists, it is deleted first.

       passwdfile
	      Name  of the file to contain the username, realm and password. If -c is given, this file is created if it does not already exist, or
	      deleted and recreated if it does exist.

       realm  The realm name to which the user name belongs.

       username
	      The user name to create or update in passwdfile. If username does not exist is this file, an entry is added. If it does  exist,  the
	      password is changed.
