Automated login

Hi,I am wondering if anyone else has managed this successfully.I am trying to automate a user login. I want my Perl CGI script to be able to be able to send a login form to the LL server, accept the cookies back, send them to the browser and create a link on a web page which will take the user straight to a certain project or workspace.I would be interested in anyone's experience of this.Many thanks in advance.

There is a way to construct a URL that will automatically login a user (to a given account) and place them in a specific Livelink site. It uses a function called ll.login and nextURL.We have a WebPage that allows HTML designers to take a Livelink URL and convert it to an autoconnect URL (it uses some Javascript). This does not require any PERL.A copy of the page is attached.

I almost forgot something.Our web security requires that all autologin URLs go through port 8080, so we have coded this into the JavaScript that creates the new URL. You will probably want to remove this from the code.

Is there a way to "turn off" the Go To button for users using this method login. The user has read only rights to a specific folder in LL but can user the Go To drop down menu to go to projects and users and groups. I can turn off permissions to the Enterprise Workspace and personal workspace but cannot control projects and users and groups. Any ideas

Does anybody know if this automatic login approach still works in v. 9.0 of LL? Is there something that needs to be configured in order to make it work? We're using LDAP for authentication. Does that prevent this auto-login approach from working?
