Working with Variables

SecureLogin stores your username and password in the form of a variable and its value. Your username and password are not included in the script. Instead, a variable is used in the script. The value of the variable is your username or password.

Logins consist of key-value pairs. The pair is a variable. You can use any name for the variable. As the following figure illustrates, the Variable column usually just contains the password and username for a particular application. However, in some more complicated applications, there may be other variables.


A variable and value for a login

This example has two variables: password and username. The script for this platform has the following line:

type $username

The variable $username is written in the script. The value of $username is this example is mkurz. When the script runs, SecureLogin looks for the variable $username in the user's login details. There it finds and reads the value mkurz. SecureLogin enters the value mkurz into the login panel.

At run time, the value of the variable $username (mkurz) is read. However, in the script we only see the variable $username.
