Step 5. Write Logon Scripts
Step 5. Write Logon Scripts
In the context of eTrust SSO the term “scripts” refers to Tcl programs that
perform tasks for the user. Scripts can be used for a wide variety of tasks. A logon
script, for example, is written to automatically log a user in to an application
(automatically insert the correct user’s name and password in the relevant fields
of the logon screens).
eTrust SSO logon scripts are written in a special extended version of the Tcl
scripting language. Prior experience with Tcl is not required to be able to write
these, but some programming experience is an advantage.
The security or system administrator in charge of eTrust SSO is responsible for
preparing the logon scripts. These scripts are written during implementation and
typically do not affect the day-to-day administration of eTrust SSO.
Application logon scripts should be written in the order planned and then tested.
You may also need to use JavaScript to launch Web applications using eTrust
SSO. For more information about launching Web applications see the Launching
Web Applications section in the “Common eTrust Processes” chapter in this
guide.
