[pmwiki-users] Append read-auth password to url for instant login via link?

[Tegan Dowling]

Hi, List:

I want to automatically log someone into a read-protected website
(w/default password-authentication type of security) using a password
string appended to the URL in another page, for example:

http://www.somewiki.com/Main/HomePage?action=login&authpw=readpassword

where readpassword is the group or page 'read' password.

Is there a way to do that? I don't want them to see the password box;
I just want to pre-supply that and log them directly into the site.

TIA!
