Login Programs

[kfcSmitty]

This doesn't really involve systems testing, but I need something that attempts a login I supply every 5-10 minutes or so.

Essentially, our connection to LDAP is messing up, so we are switching to AD authentication and it works fine. We want to have a program almost continuously login to verify that this way actually works.

Anyone know of a program that could accomplish this or will I need to write something to do it?

sounds like you are going to need to write something. I have never heard of a program that will do that (outside of hacking attempts)

kfcSmitty; What you are looking for is something called a 'WarDialer' It is an old term used for programs that would dial hundreds of phone numbers and log the results (fax, computer, residence, what have you). There are a lot of them on the web today, including a couple that will perform the action you want. HOWEVER ;) your best bet is to simply create one yourself. If you search the forums there are a couple of login examples that'd work great.

I suggest creating your own, for 2 reasons; 1 You made the code, so you know what's in it, and 2 it's a really easy one to setup. I'll hunt around see if I can find something for you.

from where we can start learning about login programming?
