We’re planning to set up a display in one of the crew areas that displays
their current projects.
To goal is to have it completely automated; the computer gets turned on
and it auto-logs in to a default user, runs a browser, and brings up a
default RT dashboard.
Is anyone aware of a plugin that would allow RT to log in automatically as
a particular user?
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If
I quit, however, it lasts forever.
I think we used Safari, made sure it remembers sessions and stores
account info (or another browser, either way the browser rebuilds the
session during startup, seems to work for us).
When we start the Mac it automatically logs in and during login it
automatically starts the browser.
From there all you have to do is make sure that the kiosk user has proper
privileges and that the dashboard is configured.
I should think that something similar should be pretty much doable for any
OS, but you’ll have to depend on the browser capabilities.

The code that we’re using for rt.cpan.org and rt.perl.org logs in as a
Public user into a separate part of the UI. You may be able to adapt
that.

Where can I find that code?
Thanks!

Most modern browsers have the option of saving login and password
information for websites. They would still have to click OK but the
credentials would be saved for them.
I know IE has a kiosk mode that can hide all toolbars/buttons. Not sure if
other browser can do this.

I know firefox and opera (as well as ie) do this with a simple F11. Not
sure about safari.
