I am a linux and linux scripting newbie so please forgive my ignorance. I have been tasked to write what I thought should be a pretty simple script that does the following:
1) Loads our forticlient ssl vpn command line client
2) sends the vpn password to the client
Pretty simple. However I am having trouble getting following code to work:
A couple of things, yes I know that having the password as clear text not a good idea. I am just trying to get this to work.
Second, I know that the -d in the first line provides debugging info. I am not sure if this is the cause of my trouble, however when I use -f when the script is run, I still see the prompt for the password and the program pauses like it is waiting for my input. At least with -d I can see a little bit of what is going on, and it looks like it should work.
Autoexpect works nicely, plus it wrote a working script for me to take a look at and figure out what I was doing wrong. I think the main problem was timing. There were a few commands I was missing as well.
