Auto distribute / user login

[JString]

Need help with a very annoying issue.

Here's the situation: I've set the main front end app to auto-distribute to
each user's machine on startup if necessary. The general procedure is

1) launch the shared front end from its location on the network
2) check to see if the user copy is up to date
3) update user copy if necessary
4) close shared front end and launch user copy using the same mdw file

The problem is that this process prompts the user for login info twice,
which is very annoying. I would like to be able to use the /user and /pwd
command line statements when launching the user copy to avoid this, but I
can't find a way to return the current user's password to do this.

If anyone can help me with this issue it would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

After thoroughly crossreferencing all available libraries and searching the
for the right paramameters, I ultimately arrived at the only possible answer
to my problem: I'm a complete idiot.

I set the /user and /pwd statements to the command line which launches the
front to use the Guest account. So now everything's fine, but I would still
appreciate any suggestions on this auto-distribute stuff.
