I once knew a certain person who hated Kronos, and was always at work on
time. (Not me, I'm on contract.) So, since Krono doesn't check referrers
on form submissions, he wrote a JavaScript page that used iframes with
onloads to create a new session, log him in, and then punch in/out for
him. He put in cron to run "mozilla /home/johndoe/punch.html" when he
wanted to be in/out.
Every time card of his was 20 hours/week right on the dot.
That person's morality aside. A similar solution could work here. In
fact, I just tested it here in the McKay, and the I was able to
authenticate a new MAC by hardcoding my net ID and password into this
script page:
<html><body>
<form method="post"
action="https://connect6.app.byu.edu/auth/perfigo_validate.jsp";>
<input type="hidden" name="reqFrom"
value="perfigo_simple_login.jsp" />
<input type="hidden" name="uri" value="http://www.byu.edu/"; />
<input type="hidden" name="cm" value="dosntmatter" />
<input type="hidden" name="userip" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="os" value="WINDOWS_XP" />
<input type="hidden" name="index" value="4" />
<input type="text" name="username" size="15" value="[NET ID
GOES HERE]"/>
<input type="password" name="password" size="16"
value="[PASSWORD GOES HERE]"/>
<input type="hidden" name="provider" value="byu-ldap" />
<input type="submit" name="login_submit">
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.forms[0].submit();
</script>
</body>
</html>

I have a headless linux box on the BYU network. Come monday I will
need to 'authenticate' it with byu's network, How is that done? I can
ssh to the linux box...
You could also install elinks, a text mode web-browser that supports
ssl. You'd have to ssh in and run elinks, then authenticate manually,
but it should work.
