auto_login is looking like a good road to start down. A tad more secure than putting the username and password in the src of an iframe ;) Thanks.

You could make it work. I don't think it'd be too difficult, but would certainly require a little work. You'd have to write a small php script that starts a session, generates the encryption key, does an imap login, on success set the cookies, on failure don't... that way they get the login screen on SM if they attempt to check their mail. Now the other (easier) way to do it is to get the login_auto plugin (or is it auto_login?), read up on that, and set the cookies that plugin uses to login to SM. You then don't have to worry about java->php compliance :) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id)95 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
