I recently started a new project where I'm converting Perl code to CF on a
Netscape server on Unix. I did not know Perl before starting this project
and had little experience with Netscape server and Unix. Much of the work
has been relatively straightforward, but on a secure server, I ran across
the following code:
# Netscape command to create an entry in the web server password file.
my ($mkuser) = "[delete directory info]/mkuser";
and then the Perl script proceeds to open the mkuser file and send data into
it.
Similarly there is a call to the shuser file and that's used to select data.
lastly there's a reference to a file called authdb/userid.db
I know that mkuser and shuser are Netscape server files that store encrypted
user info. I have never written an app that used the database to store
client user info.
I have absolutely no clue how to connect from CF to mkuser and shuser. Does
anyone have any code samples, URLs, or experience that they can share with
me so that I can understand how to connect to this server resource using CF?
thanks!!
