I have an odd situation where I want to link from one site to a third-party
site and automatically log the user in. The other site is happy to let me
do this if I can figure it out. I tried talking them into providing access
to the data on their site in other ways, but this is the only way they will
do it due to getting burned in the past.
The reason I want to link it this way is that I don't want to have to tell
users what the username/password is for the site and then have to tell them
again every time I change the password (which will happen as I gain/lose
users).
Is there any way to do this with PHP/javascript, etc?
some options:
1. ajax login - use ajax to send the information from your site to theirs and
see if you can get the session or cookie created on the browser. this might or
might not work. I have not tried it.
2. you can create a link or something to trigger the user to go to the 3rd party
site. have that trigger hit your page that automate the form submit and then
that would log them in.
3. there is software out there that can allow you to do this but the cost might
be too much. i know that ibm makes a product that will do this for you.
4. personal digital certificates
