Script to request username and password

Wouldn't this cause the users username and password to be sent in plain text. I am not sure that you really should do that. I would check with you network security team first.

You could use something along the lines of...

#!/bin/sh

Username ="$(osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Enter your username:" default answer ""' -e 'text returned of result' 2>/dev/null)"

Password="$(osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Enter your password:" default answer ""' -e 'text returned of result' 2>/dev/null)"

Password2="$(osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Enter your password again:" default answer ""' -e 'text returned of result' 2>/dev/null)"

Then you would need add in the script how you want to output said answers. In the log? In a text file?

With that said this will send the information in plaintext and I highly suggest to NOT do that.

Without knowing your situation or what you've researched so far - have you looked into NoMAD Login?

NoMADLogin-AD

This script has a similar method as already posted, and also uses the "hidden answer" option and passes it to an expect block for later use. As @ammonsc mentioned, you'd definitely want to make sure this meets your security requirements:

Thanks all...
I'm aware of the password been passed in plain text or been used within the script in plain text.
We might look into another option to do this.
