automatic login to web client?

Asked by Grzegorz Grzelak (OpenGLOBE.pl)

Is it possible to open web client immediately logged in?

Explanation:
I have some web portal. User are logging to it using portal user name and password. So I know who is on particular web site. And I want to have a link on that site to move into OpenERP web omitting logging procedure. Let say link would be like:

http://www.myapp.com:8080$bd=user_service;user=user345;password=hoorey

Is possible something like that?

Hi Grzegorz,

The answer is no, but even if it was possible you should never do that.
You would expose your users passwords (which should be encrypted in the
database anyway).

User should log into your portal then log into OpenERP (if not already
logged in).

If you really don't want your users to authenticate twice (once in
portal, once in OpenERP) then what you need is a Central Authentication
System (CAS) / Single Sign On (SSO). I don't know if a generic SSO
module is ready yet for OpenERP; a simple SSO module is easy to make or
adapt (some people might have done one, you may find some help in the
forum or in the mailing lists).
