in reply to Perl and Javascript

Have you looked at WWW::Mechanize::Firefox? If you cannot reverse engineer what sso.gen does, you will have to use a Javascript interpreter.

    It seems WWW::Mechanize::Firefox need firefox install? I cannot, its a server.
    Is JE - Pure-Perl ECMAScript (JavaScript) Engine a Javascript interpreter?

      If it is a server, then yes, you will have to make-do with the other solutions (Javascript). I'm currently working on getting nodejs to do the same as WWW::Mechanize::Firefox does, except without the need for a display, but that is still very much a work in progress, so I recommend you look at the other methods.

      Alternatively, you could write a small Javascript wrapper for your sso.gen script and call it via node sso.gen-wrapper.js $ARG1 $ARG2 via backticks.

        Oh, when I mean a server, I mean I work in a server, that is , it has no X windows system, so I cannot install firefox.
        My perl script is a client.
