Hyperlink Autologon

Z

I am running Frontpage 2002 and use it to administer our company's intranet.
I wish to create a hyperlink to www.my-life-resource.com that will
automatically logon to their website.
I have the username and password given to our company by My Life Resource.
The logon is not user specific. It was given to me for all of my users so
their is no security risk.
How do you program the hyperlink to autofill the username a password fields
of the My Life Resource site. Is this possible?

Basically, the web site you mentioned has a login form. That form has a
handler that it submits to. In this case, the form is an ASP.Net Page, so it
submits to itself. However, the domain name URL you posted redirects to the
actual page you want. The actual page you want to submit to is
http://www.my-life-resource.com/HmsaDotNet/DesktopDefault.aspx. In addition,
it may not be possible to submit to that form from any other page than that
page itself, as it is an ASP.Net WebForm, and may not read the form field
values directly from their Request.Form post data. An ASP.Net WebForm has a
server-side class associated with it, and is designed to handle client-side
events on the server side by associating client-side HTML form elements with
server-side objects athat are created when the Page loads or posts back to
itself. So, if it hasn't been initially loaded via its usual mechanism (in
this case, a redirect), it may not recognize the form data elements that you
post to it, unless it was designed to be used in this way. I would contact
the web site directly and ask them if this is possible.

something like

<a href="logon.asp?username=joebloggs&password=d9390209285">Logon Here</a?>

??

I'm sure there's another way, but that's what I believe you need something
like the above.

Otherwise, those "remember me" things you see on the internet work, it's
done with cookies. Controlled by the browser, the first time you enter the
password/username it says "Do you want to remember this for next time?".
