Password Generator Platform: Linux (could probably be modified to run under the MacOS with MacPerl) Application Type: Perl Script Cost: “PearWare” Description: This is a very simple password generator, which can be configured in any one of three ways: MODE 1: Run on the command line to generate a single password when needed MODE 2: Run as a CGI to generate a single password when needed MODE 3: Run on the command line to read a file of usernames, and create a new file with usernames and passwords, either comma-delimited or in an HTML table. This script is designed for and has been tested under Linux. (Our testing machine is running Slackware Linux ’96 with Perl 5 on an Intel 386 CPU.) It can be easily modified to run on a Macintosh with MacPerl as well. You will need a utility to convert a UNIX text file to a Macintosh text file. (Sorry, we do not currently offer such a utility.) Modes 1 and 3 have been tested under MacPerl on a Power Macintosh and they run successfully. It could likely be modified to run on a Windows machine as well, but we haven’t tried it. Configuration: Configuration is relatively painless. If running on the command line, install whereever you wish. If running as a CGI, place the script in your cgi-bin directory. You will find a note inside the script explaining what values you need to edit. Please be sure to read the configuration section thoroughly, so that you do not miss any important details.
