Subject: Pre-Setting Browser-Passwords with JSP?
> 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.
