ByPass authentication Using URL

I have my server session authentication enabled. I have to access a database through browser bypassing the authentication and therefore i tried all these combinations

a.http://username:password@url
b.http://url&username=username&password=password
c.http://username:password@url&username=username&password=password

The output behaves wierd. very rarely it goes through without login page. Since the page shd be loaded without authentication any help in this regard is highly appreciated..

Check if your default user has a READER or DEPOSITOR access selected in the Database ACl.

Also just for testing purpose make the database available for public access.

Can you store them e.g. as JS variables in "top" of a frameset or as a cookie?

guys i got the answer ... when we have a "&" in redirectto URL it takes it as the next parameter to the main URL ..
therefore "&" has to be url encoded.. so once i converted it to %26 it works like charm. I hope this helps somebody
