Script Send Password failed

[kraftr]

Hello,

I'm writing a script to automatically change passwords on Hirschmann Switches, but to send the old Password fails. The connect via telnet is working.

Script:
crt.Screen.Send "users passwd user" & vbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "Enter old password:"
crt.Screen.Send oldPass & vbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "Enter new password:"
crt.Screen.Send newPass & vbCr
crt.Screen.WaitForString "Confirm new password:"
crt.Screen.Send newPass & vbCr

Logfile:
(K2_EB_SW001) >en
(K2_EB_SW001) #conf
(K2_EB_SW001) (Config)#users passwd user
Enter old password:***
Incorrect Password!
(K2_EB_SW001) (Config)#Exit

The old Password has 5 Digits but only 3 "*" are in the logfile.

Hi kraftr,

I do not see a synchronous statement in your script.

As described in our VB scripting manual here (section 4.2, specifically Avoid "Missing" Data with Screen.Synchronous = True), using synchronous is the key to avoiding missing data coming from the remote.

Hi Brenda,

Thank you for your reply, but the "Screen.Synchronous = True" statement is in the script. I have tested "crt.Sleep" commands, but without success.

In the putty-Logfile I don't see anything wrong.

Hi kraftr,

I will need to see a copy of the complete script, with sensitive data redacted.

When redacting, please leave an equal number of redaction characters (ie: 192.0.0.1 becomes ###.#.#.#).

Please send it to support@vandyke.com and reference "Attn Brenda - Forum Thread #12428".
