How to reference an authentication token in the URL

I'm developing a simple c# app that has a form - in that form is a web browser window.

I use web services to get an authentication token ..... and then I wish to open the browser at the Enterprise page of CS10 without the need to log in again.

How do I pass the token in the URL?

Thanks

In the browser request you would need to set a cookie (LLCookie) with the authentication token as it's value.

You cannot pass the authentication token in the URL.If what you want can be achieved at all depends on several factors.First it makes a big difference if CWS are deployed standalone or in RCS.In the latter case the authentication token returned by RCS is not the same as the token (cookie) used by CS10 UI.If both RCS and CS10 are configured for OTDS authentication then there is possibly a way by obtaining another OTDS ticket for the CS10 resource from OTDS which in turn can be passed with the request to CS10.If CWS are deployed standalone the CWS authentication token is technically the same as the cookie used by CS10 UI (its name is LLCookie) so basically you could pass the token as the cookie with the web request - unfortunately this will work with an ajax like request only as there is no way to set the cookie for a request performed by the browser (loading an URL, e.g. by means of a form submit, or setting the location by javascript, or click on a generated href).However, reusing the CWS authentication token as LLCookie will work under rather relaxed security settings only: for example usually the LLCookie is bound to the client's IP address - and this will be different for your C# application (respectively CWS) and the end-user's browser.
