Set password in SKU management

[NewsArchive]

I will have to change the password for my web based installs VERY
often.

I have really leaned to love SKU management - Is it possible to set
the password to a variable?

I.E. the password could be Yadada_878, where 878 is the build no

Yes it is. Set it like any other variable in the SKU system. Just be sure to
replace all spots in the script with a hard coded password with the variable name.

I use this technique to upload to different accounts on an ftp server. Been
working for years.

Thanks Russ, but the real problem is to SET the password.

In the visualiser, if you try to set it to [VERSION], the password is
litterally [VERSION] - not the version resource.

I do not think its possible (yet) to set the password in a variable -
Right?

Hi Edvard,

We set it from an INI file in our generic installer script.

See attached.

It works fine.

Does that help?

Do you mean the Host Password for the web server login (Web Deployment
Visualizer -> iDeploy Web Installation) and/or (Web Deployment Visualizer ->
iDeploy Web Update)?

Or do you mean the "Password" dialog in the Dialogs Visualizer?

Seems to work fine here. See attached screenshots.

The [PASSWORD] value is set via the SKU feature. In the Password dialog, I
have set the password to Yadada_[PASSWORD].

The compiler displays the SKU dialog and I enter 879. Then I start the
generated installation and in the password dialog, I enter Yadada_879. The
installer accepts it.

Beginning to feel less intelligent than i use to.

I can make the [PASSWORD] variable - No problem there.
I can see, that yours are too 'Home made', i.e. 'Custom'.

I set SKU to Entry, and makes an entry in the variable

But the paasword dialog do not use [PASSWORD] anywhere - And I cannot
see how i can make it use it.

Best regards

Edvard,

I have attached a demo. Compile "SKUPassword.sb7" and in the SKU dialog,
define a password. If you enter 123 then the password for the install will
be Yada_123. If you enter ABCDE then the password will be Yada_ABCDE.

Does this work?
