Automatic login IMP form portal

[Sergey Kanareykin]

Hello all, 

I am currently working on a portal (based on uPortal
by JA-SIG) and I want to create a channel that will 
log users into IMP automatically. The udea is: their 
password is retrieved from SQL or LDAP, so the user 
just clicks a button, and IMP opens in a new window.

So, the username and password are POSTed by the 
webserver, not the browser, and it's the 
webserver that gets the response. So I thought I could 
make the webserver set the cookies IMP would have set 
otherwise, and then redirect user to mailbox.php.

I could not do this at the first attempt, and now I'm off
to read the source more thoroughly :)

Anyway, has anyone done this sort of thing before? I would 
be very grateful for any kind of advice. I am sure there is 
a more graceful way of doing this...

Thanks!
