I've attached my skeleton example.

I would be interested in that too.
 
I worked something up in PHP where the login form used POST and then there was a header redirect to sso.html, but the logon information still appeared in the address bar for a split-second while sso.html did its magic.

I don't believe it is possible to implement sso.html as a POST - the server won't pass the POST data back to sso.html so that the _javascript_ can access it.
 
   I ended up implementing it in ASP where the enclosing ASP fills out sso.html based on the POSTed data.  Let me know if that would be useful and I'll try to come up with a stripped down version to post in the next few days.

Thanks Mike.
 
Has anyone implemented this so that the username & password aren't displayed in the address bar?  At the very least using POST instead of GET when calling sso.html?
 
Thanks,

  Jim,
   The sso.html only applies if you have implemented single signon or have a client who wants to log in from an external or heavily branded page - following the sample technique at http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20051206-DM06.htm
 
    You're right, the new hdnPwdChanged field is causing the browser's password to be ignored.  The solution is to check the boxes "remember my username" and "remember my password" on the login screen.   Then it accepts the browser's stored password.

Hi Mike,
 
When I use the password stored in Firefox (it's the correct password) login fails.  I have to manually type the password, and it's annoying.  I'm guessing the code you posted has something to do with that.
 
However, when I search the web directory for 'sso.html' or 'hdnPwdChanged', nothing comes up.  Where is this value set?
 
Thanks,
Jim Frasch

Yes, you have to add a new field - if you are using the sso.html field as follows -
 
loginhtml = loginhtml.replace('name="hdnPwdChanged"', 'name="hdnPwdChanged" value="yes"');

Were there any changes to the login pages from 2006.04a to 2006.1? One of our clients uses an extranet that logs users into imail from a link.
