Take a look at an article I posted on Scott's site a year ago. It shows how to do this.
http://xmlx.ca/articles/625.aspx Disclaimer: 1. There is a flaw in the example: After the user_reference times out on the server, the example will not with forms. Instead you need to save all POSTARGs as user varsat the beginning of an appfile and then use the saved vars. 2. Or, as suggested by Scott, use a TCF instead of a redirect to handle the "behind-the-scenes" login after variables expire. 3. As with all authentication schemes, it's easy to compromise when authentication data is sent in the clear. >I have been through the documentation and I am still confused.
