Auto-Populate a Windows Security Login Popup box HELP

[xscottehx]

Hi All,

I am wanting to auto-populate a windows secruity web login box as shown below with a username and password provided which will take the user straight into the secure section of a website simply by the use of a URL. Is this possible?

I am on Windows 7 Using IE9.

I have tried using the url https://user:password@url-path/ I cant seem to find much on this topic.



Thanks in advance,

Scott

How are you opening the URL?

You can provide user and password through the wininet.dll (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385331(v=VS.85).aspx).

Hi Stefan,

Currently i am just typing it into the browser. I think it will be clicked by a user disguised as a button. Will wininet.dll have to be placed on the users machine?

I am assuming that you want to open the URL from your code. So I am assuming you already have something in your code to open the URL resulting in the question how to pass user / password.

Wininet.dll is a standard Windows component that you can use to open a URL from code. It allows you to pass user and password.
