[cobalt-developers] secure server authentication

[Fred Hendrix <FLH@xxxxxxxx>]

We are interested in serving pages from our secure server on our Cobalt box.
I want to control access through the .htaccess file.  Most importantly, I
want to provide the user and password information without the user seeing
the user/password prompt.  In other words, when a user typically tries to
open a restricted page, a user/pass dialog is posted.  I would like to
provide that information in the link or through script on the jump page so
that the user never needs to enter a user name and password.  In fact, if
the user never knows the user/pass, it would be a very good thing. Any idea
on how this is done?  

Thanks,
Fred
