I'm not sure that this would be acceptable because we have some imposed security requirements.  Wouldn't this put the UserName and Password in plain text for anyone to see.  Any more thoughts would be appreciated.

Mike,
 
Someone asked that question here yesterday. Here was my answer:

Check out our sample form code at http://hksi.net/imail-login.htm. To make it "automatic", change the userid and passwd fields to type="hidden", then fill their values with ASP code, probably something like value="<%=UserName%>" and value="<%=Password%>". Then, all the user has to do is click the Submit button (or a link that triggers a JavaScript form submission), and they'll be logged right in.

Also, there is no API into the heart of IMail. But we can still dream... :)

Hope this helps,
Ron

Subject: [IMail Forum] Login

We are evaluating whether to purchase the IMail package.  We have a need for a common login area that provides access to several resources.  Email is one of them.
 
We want the user to be able to login once and have access to any of the resources without having to login again.(The resources will be on different servers).
 
After a quick tour of the product I was not able to find any exposure of the API other than through the tags and templates.  Is there an interface that can be accessed programatically.  Or is there another way to credential a user outside the provided Login.cgi, and have that information forwarded to the mail system for authentication.
 
Any help provided will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Mike Kowalski
