Managing Sessions

I was wondering if it is possible to establish a session at login that would allow that user to access webscripts in the webscripts home without prompting them for a username and password?

Hey David,
There are a number of ways to do this. Firstly, how are you consuming the webscripts. If you are consuming them with some type of Java client I would recommend using the HTTPClient for Jakarta commons.

http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient-3.x/

This client affords you the ability to use preemptive authentication. You can also use connection pooling and other goodies.

Also, you can authenticate using the alf_ticket parameter. Just pass the parameter in with a valid ticket. I can't recall where the specifics of this are.

Also, security concerns aside, you could just open up the webscript with no authentication.
