Hi all

My container security works well and I simply can't believe that such a simple 
requirement (see below) exceeds the possibilities of container security.

The requirement:
Beside the opportunity to log in the standard way (call a secured page, fill 
out form and log in) users should be automatically logged in by another system.

That means that the user has successfully logged into that other system (where 
he has the same credentials) and now can press a link that redirects him to my 
webapp and automatically logs him in.
The link can obviously send username and password (it's MD5-hash as 
hex-encoding) as request parameters, but I see some problems:

1. If I submit a POST request to j_security_check with j_username and 
j_password, there is no target URL the user is sent to.
2. Because I would already send the password hash, the container would hash it 
again (would he?) so the login would fail.

Is there any other way I can log in a user automatically?

Thanks and cheers
Stefan
