bash中的Windows兼容密码

Question

I have a script that takes windows compatible passwords and uses them to create an account for the user on the computer with that as their system password.

I have run into an issue where if I escape them and pass it to create the account it is taken literally. Single ' and double " quotes are allowed in windows.

Example user enters hello'world escaped as hello\\'world and stored in the database as hello\\'world. user inputs hello'world login. Computer expects hello\\'world as the correct password, user can not login.

Adding code:

echo "somepass" | sudo -S /Applications/Setup\ user.app/Contents/Resources/nugget "Joe User" "juser" "ju$er'Pa$$".345"

Essentially the account for the user is created, another admin account has to be used and the password set from the gui where ju$er'Pa$$".345 is entered and from there the user can login fine.

Answer 1

Does this do what you want? (Obviously you need a safe method to retrieve the password, either from read input or by reading from a file handle or pipe).

neech@nicolaw.uk:~ $ read -r password ; printf '%q\n' "$password"
ju$er'Pa$$".345
ju\$er\'Pa\$\$\".345
