Problem with automating login on HP Pro Curve Switch web portal

ahmedar · August 27, 2014

Hi guys,

I am trying to automate login to an HP Pro Curve switch web portal. Unfortunately these switches have no remote command line interface... I even spoke with HP Pro Curve support line and they don't have a solution for these switches. No telnet/ssh/CLI interface (other than console cable which beats the point). There are hundreds of switches... and only web portal access.

For now I just need to manage to autologin... later I want to alter configuration parameters.

I came across AutoIT and I've been able to write a script that automates login to the router which is great, but I can't seem to isolate the correct elements on the switch portal page with AutoIT and need help.

For a juniper it was easy to login:

#NoTrayIcon
#include <ie.au3>
if $CmdLine[1] = "Router" Then
$Address = "http://" & $CmdLine[2] & ":8080/"
$pwd=$CmdLine[3]
 
$oIE = _IECreate ($Address)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "login")
 
for $stuff in $oForm
if $stuff.name = "admin_id" then _IEFormElementSetValue ($stuff, "admin")
if $stuff.name = "admin_pw" then _IEFormElementSetValue ($stuff, $pwd)
If $stuff.value == " Login " Then $stuff.click
Next
exit
EndIf

However I can't get $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "login") to work on the HP Switch, the elements are not being found...

#NoTrayIcon
#include <ie.au3>
$Address = "http://10.255.96.2"
$pwd="mypass"
 
$oIE = _IECreate ($Address)
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($oIE, "maindata")
 
for $stuff in $oForm
if $stuff.name = "password" and $stuff.type = "password" then _IEFormElementSetValue ($stuff, $pwd)
If $stuff.value == "Login" and $stuff.type = "submit" Then $stuff.click
Next
 
exit

It doesn't input it at all only errors.

--> IE.au3 T3.0-1 Warning from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch

"H:loginToSwitch.au3" (10) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

The page itself is just this to start with only a password:

Can I now mark #2864 as resolved? Was my suggestion correct?

You need to read about frames and look at the functions

_IEFrameGetObjByName and 
_IEFrameGetCollection

Just sent you a MP

_IEFrameGetObjByName and 
_IEFrameGetCollection

Any examples? Sorry I am new to AutoIT and inexperienced, but loving it so far. I am only experienced in VBscript, VBA and VB.NET Still got lots to learn!

I tried, 0,1,2,3 on the frame (saw one example mentioning picking frame number)

$oIE = _IECreate ($Address)
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$o_frame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($o_frame, "loginbox")
 
for $stuff in $oForm
if $stuff.name = "password" and $stuff.type = "password" then _IEFormElementSetValue ($stuff, $pwd)
If $stuff.value == "Login" and $stuff.type = "submit" Then $stuff.click
Next
 
exit

I also tried $o_frame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, "loginFrame") as I see that mentioned in the code.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will help,

But I been using it for my "Web" Login stuff

also, depending on the page, I changed some of the code,

ie,

If $oUser.Type = 'text' Then        to      If $oUser.Type = 'Email' Then    or     If $oUser.Type = 'Email' or $oUser.Type = 'text' Then

and

        If $oButton.Type = 'submit' Then    to      If $oButton.Type = 'Sign In' Then

@ahmedar: Depending on what you want you could try '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

with the simplespy it should become relatively easy to logon in your form for the basic elements

I got the first code working with logging into my router no problem, opens page, waits to load, enters user/pass, logs in, boom.. but for the switches, it appears to be framed and generated or something along those lines.. no matter what I did I could not quite get it work... That's why I pasted the HTML and javascript code in hopes of someone understanding it better than I did.

I am definitely interested... let me read a bit and see what I need to download and try.

Haha.. I just tried spy.au3... it crashes when I try CTRL+W on the login box in IE

//TODO codetemplates.txt not available An error occurred when reading the file."C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3UIAsimplespy.au3" (104) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:

$oTW.getparentelement($oparentHandle[$i-1],$oparentHandle[$i])

$oTW.getparentelement($oparentHandle[$i-1],^ ERROR

Also if I try CTRL+R (to record) it crashes right away too...

change this in simplespy (I assume you have a deep tree more then 10 (grand)parents so change it to 50 and 49

local $oParentHandle[10] ; Max 10 (grand)parents

;~ at least 1
$i=0
$oTW.getparentelement($oUIElement,$oparentHandle[$i])
$oParentHandle[$i]=objcreateinterface($oparentHandle[$i],$sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement)
If IsObj($oParentHandle[$i]) = 0 Then
  msgbox(1,"No parent", "UI Automation failed",10)
Else
  while ($i <=9) and (IsObj($oParentHandle[$i])=true)
   $i=$i+1
   $oTW.getparentelement($oparentHandle[$i-1],$oparentHandle[$i])
   $oParentHandle[$i]=objcreateinterface($oparentHandle[$i],$sIID_IUIAutomationElement, $dtagIUIAutomationElement)
  wend
  $parentCount=$i-1
;~   consolewrite($parentCount & " parents found" & @crlf)
EndIf
