StartItem

Try to use the basic HTTP authentication, which sends the credentials in the standard HTTP "Authorization" header. The format of the URL for this method is: mr mine

http://username:password@ServerName/WebAlias/default.aspx?StartItem=ItemType:ItemID

Another method is to use a custom authentication mechanism, which can use query parameters, HTTP headers, cookies, or tokens to verify the credentials. For example, you can generate a time-limited token for each user and add it to the URL, like this:

http://ServerName/WebAlias/default.aspx?token=bigtokengoeshere&StartItem=ItemType:ItemID

Both have advantages and disadvantages, choose the method that best suits your problem.

Sorry, when I attached the link automatically it shortened and lost information so I inserted the code. Hope it's not wrong.

Hi Alan,

I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. When I tried your first example I still get the Aras login box. I'm using Aras v11.11. This is how I formatted the URL:

https://smith:[email protected]/innovatorserverZen/Client/default.aspx?StartItem=MIN_Portal_Contact:A22156D7652D4804AB0BEA8208D0D510

My goal was to launch this from another application without the user needing to login to aras. The username and password are from a read only aras account that only displays contact information and nothing else.
