Automating a process of Citrix login - (Moved)

[AfsarP1]

Hi Team 

I'm new to AutoIt, I've been looking at videos and articles to understand AutoIt and automating a every-day work process. Below is what i'm trying to achieve. 

1. Open a Citrix URL

2. Enter the username and password

3. Login

I'm able to do this successfully by hard coding the values(URL, Username and Password). What I want to achieve is to create an executable file which does this job for different users and obviously each user will have their own credentials. How do I make this dynamic. Meaning allowing user's to enter their own credentials. 

In some cases, the url will also change for some users. How can I make this as well dynamic. Someone suggested me to use CMD but i'm having a real trouble using it. Would someone be able to guide me here?

Here is the code i've built:

 

#include <IE.au3>

$Url = "https://testurl.com"
$Username = 'testusername' ;This should be replaced with End user's username
$Password = "testpassword" ;This should be replaced with End user's password

$CmdLine[0] = $Url  ;  NOT SURE HOW THIS WORKS, WAS TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS.
$CmdLine[0] = $Username ;  NOT SURE HOW THIS WORKS, WAS TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS.
$CmdLine[0] = $Password ;  NOT SURE HOW THIS WORKS, WAS TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS.

Global $oIE = _IECreate($Url, 1, 1, 0, 1) ;Open the URL with specified conditions
WinActivate("NetScaler Gateway") ;Activate the Window with the string "Netscaler Gateway" on the top left
WinWait("NetScaler Gateway") ;This will wait for the "Netscaler window" to be come alive
Sleep(10000) ;Sleeping as the time taken to load the CTX URL is long

WinWaitActive("NetScaler Gateway") ; This will wait for the "Netscaler Gateway" window to be activated to enter credentials as users might shift focus to different tasks while the page is loading.

Send($Username)
Sleep(1000)
Send("{TAB}")
Send($Password)
Sleep(1000)
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{ENTER}")

Appreciate your comments/suggestions.

 

Thanks

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for moving it to the right page.

Why don't you enable "AlwaysOn" on the NetScaler Appliance or single sign-on?  Passing username/password would be a major security risk to your companies network.  Trying to make the script dynamic would also require the password being stored externally which is an additional risk.
