NAME credsman - is a simple Pel extension to work with 'Windows Credential Manager'. SYNOPSIS use strict; use warnings; use Net::FTP; use credsman qw(login); # This type of function is necessary to run login, # You need to handle the access or connection and Error messages sub Connect_Example { my $credentials = shift; # Here your code to login or connect using user and password if( $credentials->{user} eq 'pepe' and $credentials->{password} eq 'pepepass' ){ print "The Target Name is: $credentials->{target}\n"; print " User : $credentials->{user}\n"; print " Pass : $credentials->{password}\n"; print "Attempt : $credentials->{attempt} of $credentials->{limit}\n"; # Return 0 - Success return 0; } else{ print "Fail\n"; # Return to fail return 1; } } # In this Example the program will die at the attempt number 10. die "No Zero Return" if login( program => 'credsman', # The Prefix to Store the credentials in wcm target => "Test", # The Target to validate user and password, usually a server subref => \&Connect_Example, # Reference to a Function (how to validate password) limit => 10, # Number of Attempts before the program Finish ); # This Example will connect to FTP and Return the object to the function. # Option undefine: you need to combine with the inherit hash reference sub Connect_FTP { my $credentials = shift; # Here your code to login or connect using user and password # The given Parameter has the {inherit} key, if you pass it the function will return the inherit to evaluate. my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("$credentials->{target}", Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $@"; my $status = $ftp->login("$credentials->{user}",$credentials->{password}); if( ! $status ){ print "Attempt : $credentials->{attempt} of $credentials->{limit}\n"; print "$credentials->{user} cannot login ".$ftp->message ."\n"; return 1; } ${$credentials->{inherit}} = $ftp; return 0; # Success } my $ftp = Connect_FTP( program => 'credsman', # The Prefix to Store the credentials in wcm target => "Test", # The Target to validate user and password, usually a server subref => \&Connect_FTP, # Reference to a Function (how to validate password) limit => 3, # Number of Attempts before the program Finish undefine => 1, # To use with inherit, when you need to pass the object. ); die "Fail to Connect" unless defined $ftp; DESCRIPTION Credsman (credential manager) A small library that interacts with Perl and Windows Credential Manager.
