[SOLVED] Expect: admin login to Cisco SPA303 phone

Lexus45 · 11-26-2015, 10:39 PM

Hello all.

I need to do some maintenance job with hundrerds of Cisco SPA303 ip-phones (provisioning, firmware upgrade and forced reboot). All these actions require to log in as admin with the password. You may see it on the screenshot.

For example these HTTP requests require being logged in as admin:
http://10.145.14.20/admin/upgrade?ht...1:8000/spa.bin
http://10.145.14.20/admin/reboot

The question is: what's the best way to pass credentianls automatically from a bash script? Should I use expect or something else?

Thank you.

I'd use curl for this...it specifically deals with web pages. This:

Code:

curl --user name:password http://web.page.com

...is all you need for a bash script. Much documentation and examples available on how to use curl.

Thank you for the help. Though, this doesn't work )

I found how to solve the problem. Maybe somebody also needs:

Code:

curl --anyauth -u login:pass http://10.145.13.229/admin/reboot

This is for Cisco SPA303 sip-phone.

Ah. Very sorry I didn't provide you with the exact string you needed. The "-u" is the same as the "--user" I originally sent you, so you only added one flag to the command. Thought that doing a small bit of research on your ownwould be ok, since you asked for ideas.
