Redirect - Remember UserName/Passwordby "Bruce Ferguson" <brucenkhamen(at)usa.net> |
|
I have a problem which I'm trying to solve with either Javascript or ASP. A user enters a User Name and Password into a web application, this uses a file called weblink.exe (which i guess is a proprietary exexutable that I won't be able to alter) to authenticate the user with the server and then save the users details to a cookie which remembers the authentication if the user goes back later in the day. I have an application on another server for which i want to use that same username and password, ie if the user has logged into the first application and then decides they want to use the second application I want the original username and password to be used. I have found I can't reference the cookie created by weblink.exe because it is coded to only accept requests from the saving server. The Username and password are also not remembered within the session as far as I can tell, presumably because of the weblink.exe breaks the session somehow. Any advice on what I could do? Thanks.
