Namespaces
http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0 http://xml.libslax.org/slax
Python Syntax
input = jcs.get_secret('string')
SLAX Syntax
var $input = prefix:get-secret(string);
XSLT Syntax
<xsl:variable name="input" select="prefix:get-secret(string)"/>
Description
Invoke a CLI prompt and wait for user input. Unlike
the jcs:get-input() function, the input
is not echoed back to the user, which makes the function useful for
obtaining passwords. The user input is defined as a string for subsequent
use. This function cannot be used with commit or event scripts.
The prefix associated with the namespace URI should be defined in the prefix-to-namespace mapping in the style sheet.
Parameters
string |
CLI prompt text. |
Return Value
input |
Text typed by the user and stored as a string. |
Usage Examples
The following SLAX example shows how to prompt for a password that is not echoed back to the user:
var $password = jcs:get-secret("Enter password: ");In Python:
password = jcs.get_secret("Enter password")Release Information
