Storing passwords in session variables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a form that has username and password fields. While the form
exists and contains various other fields the most common mode of
operation is to have the form auto submit if it has enough arguments
in the URL. So, someone is using an external program that has links
wired as such:

test.php?start=1&end=2&this=blah&that=argh&username=user&password=pass

and when they hit that URL it sees it has enough arguments, fires and
returns the result.

Client <-> Server is encrypted,  can I toss these into session variables?

The user could be coming from multiple frontends and it would be nice
to forgo the user/pass in the url; give the username focus on the
first visit let them drop their creds and then store them into the
session so with each subsequent hit they can just get their results.

Make sense?

Note: I need to pass the credentials to an external app each time a
request is made.

Thanks.
