Auto Login

RT Users
1

We have an intranet setup wherein our users log with password into the
system. I created a link to this request tracker system. I setup RT using
their same userid and password

How can I pass this userid and password to RT so that there is no need for
them to login again (bypass the RT login screen) ?

As I understand Rommie want to use user’s PC session credentials to
login in RT.
Noway to do it. There is no standart on tracking sessions through HTTP
in the world. RT uses cookies, other system uses basic auth, query
string, ip and so, so… becouse of it IE and other browser couldn’t
provide any interface for other parts of system that allow force auto
login in RT.

workaround:
you could change cookies behavior, namely, set them expiration period
(security caveats here).

Oh, you mean like logging into a windows domain? I agree then, very
hard or impossible. I assume he meant some web based intranet – and
if apache can get at the data, rt can as well.

rt can be trivially adapted to use whatever your other http things use.

Yes it works but the login info can be seen until you click anything on RT.
But I can work on it already. Thanks again.
