Sample trigger

The following code sample is a bash auth-check type trigger that tries to authenticate a user (passed to the script using the %user% variable) using the Active Directory. If that fails, all users have the same "secret" password, and special user bruno is able to authenticate without a password.

USERNAME=$1
echo "USERNAME is $USERNAME"

# read user-supplied password from stdin
read USERPASS
echo Trying AD authentication for $USERNAME
echo $USERPASS | /home/perforce/p4auth_ad 192.168.100.80 389 DC=ad,DC=foo,DC=com $USERNAME
if [ $? == 0 ]
then
     # Successful AD
     echo Active Directory login successful
     exit 0
fi
# Compare user-supplied password with correct password, "secret"
PASSWORD=secret
if [ "$USERPASS" = $PASSWORD ]
then
     # Success
    exit 0
fi
if [ "$USERNAME" = "bruno" ]
then
    # Always let user bruno in
    exit 0
fi
# Failure
# password $USERPASS for $USERNAME is incorrect;
exit 1

To define this trigger, use the p4 triggers command, and add a line like the following to the triggers form:

bypassad auth-check auth "/home/perforce/bypassad.sh %user%"

The auth-check trigger is fired, if it exists, after a user executes the p4 login command. For authentication triggers, the password is sent on STDIN.
