As far as I know, there are only two ways to send data to a web page apart
from GET (arguments to the url):
* POST data
* Cookie data
POST works for sending the username/password to computer B. No problems
there that I can see. However, I don't know any way of redirecting and
sending POST data. (You could have a "You have logged on successfully,
click this submit button to continue" page, of course.) Which means if you
want seamless redirection your only hope is a cookie, which means (a) the
user has to accept cookies, and (b) both servers have to have the
same/similar domain names.
