automatic login

[sasha]

We want to open zimbra from within our own application ...

the scenario is this :
we login to our application . Once inside there is a link to zimbra ... by clicking the link we automatically login to our mail .

How do I get zimbra to login with the password already supplied to the containing application ?

Would preauth do what you need?

[sasha]

Yes , exactly what I am looking for ... Thanks !

[sasha]

Hmmm , I am a little confused now ..

The username is hardcoded in the preauth.jsp . So for different users I need
something like this preauth.jsp?username=joe.smith ...

Now in our organisation everyone knows that username=firstname.lastname so everyone knows everyones' username . So anyone would be able to access anyone else's account just by supplying the query string once they realize where the URL preauth.jsp is .

No , it's OK .. I can use a Session variable to pass the username and I can hide the URL in server-side
code so it works out . Thanks again .
