password applet parameter handling in 3.1.2

[Mado BURGHI]

Hi,
I have the same problem with the password (in an php applet) with the 
version 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 that the user said in the message I copied 
below. Have you found any solution?
Here you are the source code of my applet:
  print'  <APPLET CODE="com.mindbright.application.MindTerm.class"
                ARCHIVE="Signedmindterm.jar" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0>
                <PARAM NAME="cabinets" VALUE="mindterm.cab">
                <PARAM NAME="sepframe" value="true">
                <PARAM NAME="debug" value="false">';
        print'  <PARAM NAME ="protocol" value="ssh2">';
        print " <PARAM NAME =\"server\" value=\"$machine\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"port\" value=\"$port\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"username\" value=\"$login\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"auth-method\" value=\"password\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"password\" value=\"$password\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"quiet\" value=\"true\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"autoprops\" value=\"both\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"term-type\" value=\"vt100\">";
        print " <PARAM NAME=\"force-pty\" value=\"true\">";
                </APPLET>";

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards,

I just upgraded to 3.1.2 from 3.0.1 and it looks like the 'password'
parameter when using MindTerm as an applet has either changed or stopped
working for password-based logins. With 3.0.1 and 2.4.2, all that was
needed was to pass server, username and password with quiet=true to
automatically log in to a machine. The behavior with 3.1.2 is to show a
password prompt despite being passed a valid 'password' parameter.

I noticed that in the 3.1.1 release notes host-based authentication had
been made to work and figured the default authentication method may have
changed, so I tried forcing 'auth-method' to password but this seems to
have no effect.


Any suggestions?
