Hi-

I would like to automatically authenticate my CPG users based upon whether they have successfully logged in to another system. Are there any issues with changing the requirement that the info be POSTed? What I want is for the other system to simply pass the usr/pwd info into CPG without the user having to log in directly.

I am aware that GETS will show up on the URL line, but was wondering if there are any other issues. Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

Use $_REQUEST. Better yet use the bridging system.

Thanks for the info Nibbler :) .  I changed the GETS to REQUESTS.

I took a look at the bridging system, but it seemed a little complex for just login and the doc on creating a custom bridge is sparse... I did some searches on the board also.
