Some answers:
- I will go through the docs and the help about exec module and other
things you’ve suggested, I’m not one that don’t follows your advices, I’ve
said that without any reason
- I’ve asked about hints about why exec-program-wait does not work and the
only answer is probably is a bug related to an old version, I just hoped
you gave me some hints about further points to check. I don’t know if
you’ve ever worked in a Gdpr/pci-Dss/etc compliant company, ve are using
the latest version available on our red hat enterprise servers, we can not
instal the latest development release
- I’m not childish, maybe you are, looking at your answers
- you keep asking me while I repeat myself, I did it simply because the
workaround you’ve suggested me simply to not implement the authentication
flow I’ve explained
- have you ever have a look at the other open source communities? About how
experts help and answer to problems?

Have a nice day/night
