[NoCat] Sending SyslogIdent value to Login.html

[LondonCowgirl E]

I would like to send the SyslogIdent value found in the nocat.conf file (on 
the a/p) to the login.html file. I can then set it as a hidden form value 
and pass it along to my html.

To do this, I edited the Passive.pm file residing on the server as follows:

sub capture_params
{
    my ( $self, $peer, $request ) = @_;
    return {
	mac      => $peer->id,
	token    => $peer->token,
	redirect => $request,
	timeout	 => $self->{LoginTimeout},
       ident	 => $self->{SyslogIdent},    <----NEW LINE ADDED HERE
	gateway  => $peer->socket->sockhost . ":$self->{GatewayPort}"
    };
}

I also edited the login.html file to include the following line:

<input type="hidden" name="ident" value="$ident">

The "$ident" value is always empty, so something isn't working correctly.

Can anyone assist me with this? Or suggest another way to pull the 
SyslogIdent value from the access point to the login.html page.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Carla
