Userauthentication with redirection

[BramS]

Hi,

I am building an intranet site for my office,

from a menu I call a file ict.php?command=samba
which opens that file in another frame.

in that file I have the following structure:

<?php 
$command = $HTTP_GET_VARS[command]; 
switch($command)
{ 	case "samba":
	{
		header ("location:http://10.0.0.1:901/");
	}
	break;
           ....etc
}
?>

Is it possible to send the username and password with the headerinfo like:

header ("location:http://user:password@10.0.0.1:901/");

I tried this but it does not work.

When I use the <meta http-equivalent blabla> the username and password will work but it keeps running in a loop.
So the page will not load.

Somebody?

TIA!

Bram.

use this instead :

header("Location: http://10.0.0.1:901/index.php?user=$user&password=$password");

this will submit user and password in GET variable
if the page you want to reach is not php, that shouldn't be a problem, as long as you know how to recover the 2 vars from the url.

Thanx for the info but it does not work since the page I am calling is the samba administration page. (wich is an application)
It uses the basic http-authentication.

There are multiple servers I want to control like this sort of way.
I know that webmin can do this but I cannot fit it in my intranet site 🙁

This will work, i just tried it on my swat server 🙂

$username = "myUsername";
$password = "myPass";

header('LOCATION: [url]http://[/url]$username:$password@10.0.0.1:901');

Ok Thanx 🙂

Eziekiel's way should work. You were just forgetting the "$" which donates that its a variable...
