Hi there,
Does anybody know if it is possible to pre-set a user/pass in the
browser for a .htaccess-based "basic auth" restricted area on an
apache/tomcat webserver using JSP?
Imagine the following scenario: we have an area on an apache webserver
which is user/pass protected using .htaccess "basic auth". Normally,
when someone tries to enter the protected area, the browser comes up
with this well known Log-In window that asks for the user name and the
password to enter. In some cases it would be nice for user's
convenience, if he would not have to enter this information each time.
Especially when he already authenticated himself at another site
before. He could be forwarded to this protected site from another JSP
page, which pre-sets the user/pass in the background to let him in
without being nagged for user infos again.
With PHP it seems to be possible to set and get the user/pass
information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
Does anybody know a workaround? Maybe someone has a better idea to
solve this problem.
Any help appreciated, Thank you!
Regards,
Frank.
