John, Looks like you've received some good replies. One other thought is to ask the question whether you actually need authentication for the content that your z/OS HTTP server is providing.
Also, assuming you're using basic authentication, there are some "cheats." Your users can add a bookmark/favorite to log in automatically, like this: http://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mypage.html Better yet, if your Web site supports SSL: https://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mypage.html Or you could use a Web form-based authentication instead of the basic authentication pop-up box. With the form-based authentication Microsoft Internet Explorer can remember user IDs and passwords if you wish, to automatically log the user on. (Your company may have disabled that in the IE settings, but it is a standard feature of most browsers, including IE.) - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
