Passing a username and password to a Firewall popup 1

Hi all,

Is it possible to pass a username and password automatically to a Firewall popup?

Thanks in advance,
Carl

I don't think you can pass them AFTER the popup, but you can try including them in the URL. Here's how that looks:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://username:password@www.somewhere.com[/URL]

Just remember that this means that anyone who does a "view source" on that page can see the userid and password. I only use that technique when I have a DEMO of a password protected area and don't want someone looking at the demo to have to enter the userid and password. Tracy Dryden

Thats perfect!! Thank you!

I know the user can see the code when they view source, this shouldn't be a problem though as the site is internal and the only people accessing it should know the password anyway - just saves them entering it everytime!

Thanks again,
Carl
