Re: apache authentication

If, for example, the protected page you are attempting to access is at: http://www.mydomain.com/protected/index.php you can use the following url to bypass the pop up password dialog box: http://username:password@www.mydomain.com/protected/index.php Please note that this is a rather insecure method of securing your pages, but no more insecure than using apache authentication in the first place.

I have several protected user directories that are of different realms. When a user logs into the 'secure area' i would like to send them to pages contained in a secure directory but pass the encoded user:pass in the URL as to avoid the pop-up apache authentication dialogue. Is this possible and how do i achieve this? TIA, Aaron Lake Programmer/Analyst Kvaerner Chemetics A Division of Kvaerner Canada Inc (604) 730 4206
