auto login web page

[JUSTIN.YEH]

Hi:
I am writing a LV test program to control a Layer 2 switch. At some point, my test program need to access switch's console web page to read or write information. Problem is that the web page required log-in. I have tried the simple method which attachs username & password in the URL. It does not work. There should be some security implemented. The team who wrote the UI either can't or don't want to offer me help.

Hi Justin,

Did you ever get an answer to this question?  I'm currently in the same situation.  I have to access an Ethernet Switch Web page to enable certain settings but I have to do this programatically as my application is used in a manufacturing environment.  If you resolved this problem and know which approach is best to use to achieve this please get back with me.

Thank you very much.
