Yes. Do you use excite or any of the other popular personal portals (yahoo)?
Im using MyExcite, and it always remembers to log me in to my personalized
page automatically.
I believe you just need to set a cookie with a long expiration time (or no
expiration).
The servlet cookie api is very easy.
This can be an option in Jetspeed - I just need to give it some thought as
to how it is configured and where the code should go.
Maybe in the JRP, something like:

logon.automatic=true

Any ideas?
