Hello all, I am trying get one server to authenticate to another server possibly with a browser window in the middle.
My browser throws a syntax error at this url http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2082 but will allow the same with ftp - ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to have a page that has login buttons for remote sites (hosting client sites and the like). I understand that with "AuthType Basic" the server sends a request for login information (403 or something like that). The browser subsequently sends the user/pass on every other request for a page/resource on that site. Is there a way to do this in advance? ie can I do something like this in html ? .. <form action="http://theirdomain.com:2082"; method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="user" value="username"> <input type="hidden" name="pass" value="password"> <input type="submit" value="Your cPanel"> If not then can I proxy it on the server? ie can I place the username and password into the headers to the remote site and pass a cookie back to the browser so they can continue the session with the remote site? PS: cookies will pass as I can use a different url ie the remote site may be theirdomain.com and their cpanel may be their domain.com:2082 but as they are a hosting client I can use the following url for their cpanel - mydomain.com/~theirusername:2082 so that the cookie is valid. Thanks.
