Automating Log In to SmarterMail
The HTML code below demonstrates how you can make a text link (e.g. "Log into your
mail") that automatically log a person in to the SmarterMail application. By putting
a hidden form on a simple web page, you can fill in the "Email Address", and "Password"
information either via hard coding the data or through a scripting language like
ASP, ASP.Net or ColdFusion.
For the example code listed below, we have the form values set to generic text (e.g.
"Actual_Email_Address_Here") to show where you would hard code values that are submitted
to the login.aspx page. You could also dynamically generate these values using a
scripting language like ASP or ColdFusion (a sample ASP script would substitute
value="Actual_Email_Address_Here" with value=<% =email %>). The form action
shown (http://127.0.0.1:9998/smartermail/login.aspx) uses the default location of
the Smartermail Web Interface. If you have created a separate web site for Smartermail,
or assign a different IP address for Smartermail within IIS, this action would have
to be altered to reflect this change. This example demonstrates how easy and powerful
the Smartermail application is in allowing companies to automate entry into the
mail application.
