I have a broadband internet connection & the ISP provides a broadband dialer which I have to click on my desktop & a screen comes up asking or username & password. The dialer remembers my username & password in windows pc but not on a mac. So i want to automate this process with a single click.
Can anyone help me with a applescript or a automator workflow for this purpose?
this can be done with GUI AppleScripts, not necessarily with Automator.
Can you let us know who the ISP is ? That way we can have a look at the software they have supplied to you. This way it will be easier to suggest a fix. Should be relatively straightforward !
My ISP is SIFY. It's based in India. You can check out their web site. I have to click on a desktop item named broadbandUi.jar which opens with jar launcher.This then opens up a screen which asks for the login & password. I hope you can suggest a fix now.
I can't find the relevant software so therefore I cannot see what to do.
You may have to tweak this a bit, first you will need to turn on AppleScript GUI Scripting. To turn it on go to Applications-->AppleScipt-->AppleScript Utility and click enable GUI scripting.
Now copy this script into ScriptEditor and then change the 'bits' to suit...
-------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
activate
open document file "broadbandUI.jar" of folder "Desktop" of folder "your_username" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Jar Launcher"
keystroke "your username"
keystroke tab
keystroke "your password"
keystroke tab
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------
You will have to play around with the order etc as I can't see the App myself...
