Automatic Intranet Login (AIL)

Version 0.1.0-6-g9c6a249

WHAT IS THE AIL PROJECT ?

One of our past clients (*) wanted to allow users of Workstations to login automatically once they logged into the Windows 7 workstation. The Windows 7 workstation passwords and the website passwords are idential and managed via a central LDAP or Active Directory solution. This software caotures given credentials via a custom windows credentials provider and uses this to automatically log into the website via a browser of choice (determed upon install). The scripting for the browser access etc. is flexible since its established via e.g. powershell or MS Windows Scripting host.

Once the user logs out the existing credentials are removed from disk. The script is automatically executed on login and if needed by clicking on a shortcut icon.

In order to achieve this we utilize a freely available credentials provider from Tyler Wrightson [1][2] with Visual Studio example [3][4].
