key with the contents of the password typed,
dir with the path of the problem type, and
computer_name with the name of host machine.


Note: It's like this Tcl procedure prototype: proc PasswordPath { key dir computer_name } { ... body... }


The script should return one of three possible codes:
0 in case of failure.
1 in case of success.
2 in case of success; the difference here is that the problem type has just saved the password information so GiD should not do it.


Furthermore, we can provide a description of the status returned for GiD to show to the user. If another status is returned, it is assumed to be 1 by default.
Below is an example of a <ValidatePassword> node. <ValidatePassword>
