Hello,
I have a site on an intranet where users go to connect to other intranet sites.The user has to login to enter this site. Some of these sites require the user to login again. (This is legacy work) The problem has been that the user would login and have the same page open two to three times and it was a mess.
I decided to redo the page and use a Iframe, I also want to keep the user from having to login to every site. I have decided to use CGI cookies to pass the user login and password.

I can't seem to pass inside the iframe does anyone have any help?

Thanks
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,

Did you get this solved? I remember reading something about using cookies in a CGI with frames not working very well but I can't seem to locate the article at the moment. Is the site opening in the iFrame on the same TLD? Cookies set on a TLD will only be visible to the same TLD; that could be a problem. You might be able to use the cookie to set the URL for the iFrame and include the user/pass details. The bad thing is that those links will show up in your server logs.

Charlie,
No I never solved this problem. Put it on the back burner. It seemed like a great idea at the time I think I may need to come up with something new. Thanks for responding, sorry I didn't reply sooner I had given up.
