I've got a way to pass the authentication to the web messaging, but not
used, as being a potential security problem:
On the page, make a link to the web messaging page action of the login
page, with the specified info. This would work.
Or: If you've got any session-environment, develop a page passing the
session, and on webmail machine, create a page that looks for the username
and password.
As I've know only a way to validate the users on the webmail interface
(the action page of the login page), this page can be a potential problem,
but just one page, and you can put all ways of no-caching to this little
page showing in the middle of the two interfaces.
Or: Make another validating page on the webmessaging, using the info of
the session (This is a work to do)
If you get any info, and do the hard work, let me know. The best one is
the last, as there's no password shown on the client part.
