Automatic log in from external page.
« on: March 28, 2012, 09:35:11 PM »
Hi,
I have hosting with Media Temple and have been using Roundcube.
However, Media Temple are moving to AtMail and I don't want to so I am considering installing Roundcube as a 3rd party email client onto my Media Temple account.
This has also been suggested by Media Temple.
As I would then have unrestricted access to the Roundcube files I am wondering if I can solve a problem I have with the Media Temple installation.
I load Roundcube into an iFrame as it is a section of an Intranet that I created for my clients. This works fine but comes with 2 issues.
1) Users have to log in to Roundcube after already logging in to the Intranet.
2) Whenever they navigate away from the iFrame they have to log in again when they return to it.
I am hoping to include logging in to Roundcube as part of the logging in to the Intranet process, so one log in for the user.
Can this be done with Roundcube?

Thanks, Michael

You can implement a autologin plugin however you would need the users username and password when RoundCube loads so you may have to look into storing the users password in the session data.
