Roland, you have 3 reasonable options.
1: Place the username and password into textboxes within a form on the IIS
page. Use a post method directly to Imail's login.cgi. Basically copy and
paste all of the code in the login.html template, and make all the textboxes
hidden. You can trigger the submit event from ASP when ever you want to log
into the Imail web.
2: Bounce the username / password to the existing login.html template using
a get and strip it out of the query string and have the template file
automatically post to the login.
3: Pass the username / password with a cookie and modify the login.html so
that if the data is there it will log in, if not prompt for the login.

Subject: [IMail Forum] LOGIN variables - passable?
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to pass the username and password to
the Imail Login screen from a form filled in on our Webserver?
Here's the scenario:
Win NT 4. SP6a.
MS IIS V4
Imail 6.03
(All the above run on the same box)
What we would like to be able to do is for users to fill in a form, hosted
by IIS. This would give us their usernames and passwords. We could then
perform other functions using this data. (We have a database with
usernames identical to those in Imail).
After we have performed these functions we would like to be able to pass
the username and password to the Imail login screen (and submit it if
possible). This would prevent the user having to enter their username and
password twice.
It would be very useful for me to be able to do this.
Any ideas or solutions would be very welcome.
Thanks in anticipation of your time and help.
Regards
Roland
