Pass Login Information
I am developing a webpage. The webpage is requesting login credentials. I will get the UserName and Password and verify against a database. This is the easy part.
After I verify the login what i want to do is use those credentials to login to another site. Example lets say I want to loginto hotmail. So - how do I pass the login credentials to my Hotmail page? Lets say that hotmail is a functional website written in JSP.

Do you have access to the external websites? do they can provide a page for you or a login service?
You cannot just pass the login credentials to any page. The service provider (maybe hotmail) need to provide you with a web service or a similar interface to pass the credentials to them so that they can authenticate and send you to a page within their site. The process you are referring to is called Single Sign On (SSO). If you give me specifics I can help you out further.
Also here is an article that might help you understand further.

I have done this before - but its been such a long time since i've done this and don't remember or have the code on how I did this. i have access to the code on the other website. Yes, it is SSO but I have to handle it the way I described.
My App
- Verifyies Login
Other App
- Login in is received from My App and uses the login to access the website.
Thx

Hi,
Try to use HttpWebRequest to send HTTP POST requests to the external login PAGEs with all required data (Username, Password, Login Options.. etc). But this is not guaranteed to work with all websites.
For example:
HttpWebRequest myLoginRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebReq
byte[] dataToPost = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII
myLoginRequest.Method = "POST";
myLoginRequest.ContentType
myLoginRequest.ContentLeng
Stream loginRequestStream = myLoginRequest.GetRequestS
loginRequestStream.Write(d
loginRequestStream.Close()

Ok, the above code did not cause an error. Looks like its closer. How do i navigate to the page of the JSP page? Response.Redirect only brings me to the log in page and not logged in. I need to go to the page and need to be logged in.
If you have access to the code on the other site (Site 2) then you need to create a page on that server that would
1. accept login credentials by http "POST" and validate it
or
2. be able to identify that the reauest is coming from the 1st trusted site and know the name of the user requesting the connection
Validate the passed information (either #1 or #2 above) and then redirect to the appropriate page directly.
You had stated that when you use response.redirect it is going to the site 2's login page. How does Site 2 process the login. It would be caling some methods internally to authenticate the user and will then set some session information (in client/server/DB etc). Since now you want to bypass the Site 2's login page your site 1 should be able to call another page (like the login page) but which would do all the validations internally and finally redirect the user to the correct page on site 2.

Oh, I thought you will try to get some data from the external website after you login.
In my code and similar, when you login by sending the POST to the external page, the login cookies.. etc will be on your HttpWebRequest object's CookieContainer NOT in user browser, so when you Response.Redirect the user to the page, the user will be asked to login because he has no login cookies in his computer.
I think what you are trying to do is very hard if you do not want to touch the external website code, or if you do not control it.
But, I have a very dirty way to do a trick, here it is:
1) User types username and password in YOUR login page.
2) Verify them against the database.
3) If they are OK, dynamically render an invisible iFrame points to the external login page.
4) When the iFrame is loaded, access it with JavaScript to set the Username and Password textboxes there with the username and password which user typed in your page.
5) Access the external page to find the Login/Submit button and click on it with JavaScript!
6) When iframe/external page submitted, it reloads again, if it does not have the login form, it means the user successfully logged in.
7) Direct the user to the external landing page with JavaScript.
I know it is really very dirty solution, but this way we will be sure that the user has all cookies.. etc because we simulate the login process exactly as a human.
Here is some code to try, please try it on IE first, if this what you want and works for you let me know to fix the code to work with all browsers:
Your Login Page ASPX:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Hi,
Can you please change the JavaScript code to be:
string javaScriptToPassLogin = "function PassLogin() { if(myExternalPageFrame.doc
Try this until you please send me the rendered HTML of both the external login page and the external landing page which open when the user successfully logged-in:
1) Open the external page normally in the browser, View Source and paste the HTML here.
2) Login from the external page, when you are successfully loggedin, View Source and paste the HTML here.
This is gonna help me to know the exact IDs of the controls and in the conditional if statement which helps me to know whether it is the external login page or it is the external landing page.
