embed user name and password on a link for asp page

[aarellano]

Hello,

I created a report in asp, was able to create a login and now I am wondering if there is a way to embed a user name and password for an asp page.

I looked and some suggestions were for example

http://username:password@website.com/reports

This does not work.


any help is truly appreciated
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Do you really want ot expose the user/pass combination in a URL?

it would be for intranet purposes only and it would only go to specific people

Hi,
Is the login for the page or for some object/process on the page?

Either way you could pass them as QueryString variables:

http://mysite.com/securepage.asp?UserID="Me"&MyPass="Foobar"

Then on securepage.asp you can check the passed variables.

You can't pass it through on a url

exerpt:

Internet Explorer does not support user names and passwords in Web site addresses (HTTP or HTTPS URLs)
