I have a protected site that my users need to get to. We are trying to link our main website to this protected site without the user having to manually type in their user name and password. The user name and password is the same for all viewers. I need help writing the syntax for the http://www. address please. Is this possible? Thank You.

The username:password approach may or may not work, depending on the specifics of your situation:
By default, versions of Windows Internet Explorer that were released starting with the release of security update 832894 do not support handling user names and passwords in HTTP and HTTP with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS URLs. The following URL syntax is not supported in Internet Explorer or in Windows Explorer:
http(s)://username:password@server/resource.ext
