RE: How to tell WebBrowser control what credentials to use?

Hi all,

Sorry Linda, you missed me completely.

Lets say I have the user name and password for a remote site stored locally
and I want the login to happen without end user intervention. How do I
tell the WebBrowser control the credentials to use against a remote site?

To Linda: I am not worried about local security because I will only be working
against well known (and safe) intranet web applications.

Thanks,

Hi Adar,

How do I tell the WebBrowser control programatically what credentials and
what authentication mode to use when accessing a web site?

Do you mean the WebBrowser security?

The WebBrowser control is designed to work in full trust only. The HTML
content displayed in the control can come from external Web Servers and may
contain unmanaged code in the form of scripts or Web controls. If you use
the WebBrowser control in this situation, the control is no less secure
than Internet Explorer would be, but the managed WebBrowser contro does not
prevent such unmanged code from runing.

Hope this helps.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu
