[ome-users] importer-cli and session key

[Mark Henshall]

What we're trying to do is import images automatically - I've mounted 
the home directories from the microscope on the ome server, and I'll be 
able to write a script pretty easily to check for new images in 
people's directories. Once I find a new image, I want to import it into 
their account in ome.

I've done the import on the command line like this:

omero import -s localhost -u "My Username" -w mypassword -n 
/home/mydir/wtAFZ1_bgalwgecad_110609.tif 
/home/mydir/wtAFZ1_bgalwgecad_110609.tif

and it works fine.

But the problem I have is that I want to do this for many users, and I 
don't have access to their passwords, and I don't want to (and putting 
them in an ascii file would work, but only until they change their 
password because of the site-wide password policy). So can I use the 
'-k' flag to specify a user, and how would I find out the session key 
for a particular user?


Thanks for any help.
