"Remember me" login functionality

The "Remember me" login functionality is widely used in web sites (Experts exchange included), to automatically sign in the user with the last access userID.
Is a good practice provide this functionality in a web enterprise application, like an ERP or Business intelligence tool?

What is a best practice to implement it? In wich way should be set the cookies?

Thank you

It's not a problem if the ERP is used internally only, however, if you have Active Directory for authentication, why don't you ask the ERP to authenticate from the LDAP Login Credentials?

As far as cookies go, the remember me functionality uses cookies to remember you so deleting the cookies will delete the stored information (passwords are stored separately and more securely).
