Automate RIS Logon?

[JD]

Does anyone know HOW to automate the logon for RIS? I am talking about the
initial logon for RIS - when it just started the STARTROM section and you
need to provide your credential to run RIS. Thanks.

I am pretty sure it isn't supported.

There is a reason, since an auto-logon might accidently
overwrite the entire OS/disk of a machine that rebooted
without disabling it (and it would be a security issue too.)

To get rid of F12 you need to rename startrom.com to startrom.bak and
then rename startrom.n12 to startrom.com

Then you need to add the meta tag AUTOENTER to all CIW screens you
need to automate.

At least you need to add the below line to the following CIW screens
<META ACTION=AUTOENTER>

welcome.osc
login.osc
warning.osc
install.osc


For automating the logon you also need to add the username and
password value to login.osc.

<INPUT NAME=USERNAME MAXLENGTH=255 VALUE=username>

<INPUT NAME=PASSWORD TYPE=PASSWORD MAXLENGTH=20 VALUE=Password>

Actually I found the autologon - just provide the names in the OSC files and
also make sure it has AUTOENTER on each page...

This solution is doable and works great - can be controlled with secuity and
MAC filter etc..

I didn't know that. Thanks.
