tl-sso-password¶
Synopsis¶
tl-sso-password [options]
Description¶
The tl-sso-password command can be used to hook up the single sign-on mechanism of ThinLinc with new applications. It can be used to test for the presence of a valid password and to feed that password out on standard output to another application.
To check for the existence of a valid password, invoke the command as
tl-sso-password --check. A return code of zero indicates a
valid password.
If the --remove option is specified, the password will be
removed, after the retrieval or check.
There are two basic models to connect tl-sso-password to an application. The first is to use shell pipes:
$ tl-sso-password | /usr/bin/application --read-password-on-stdin
The second is to have the application invoke tl-sso-password as needed:
$ /usr/bin/application --password-prog tl-sso-password
Options¶
- -c, --check¶
Returns 0 if password is available, instead of fetch.
- -h, --help¶
Prints a short help text and exits.
- -r, --remove¶
Removes the password after fetch or check.
- --version¶
Prints the ThinLinc version and exits.
