Username & Password as parameters

[kvicky]

I am trying to set a scheduled task for one of my ASP.net application
that I developed on a monthly basis. This application requires a login
authentication. I am sending the url of the login page in the Windows
scheduled task. But I also want to send the username and password as
Parameters (that is identified through windows authentication). and
automatically assigned these parameters to loging into the application
and conduct my operation.

The problem here is I am not getting any idea as how to send the login
information as parameters in the url assigned to the schedule task.


Thanks
K

I don't believe that this is the right solution. If windows
authentication is being used on the server side to identify the caller, then
you need to impersonate that caller. You can do this by setting the
scheduled task to run under the username/password you want to impersonate.

Then, on your HttpWebRequest instances, you would set the
UseDefaultCredentials property to true. This will take use the credentials
of the currently logged in user (the one you specify for your scheduled
task) and use those to identify yourself against your site.

Hope this helps.
