Hi All,

I would like to open an external site from my DNN apps, however, the site requires login credentials in order to access it. I would like to use both the iframe and link which point out to the external site and pass the login info (username and password) so, it will look seamlessly for user in accessing the external site from my app. Thanks.

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, I realized that this is not safe, however, we provide this as a solution for now. Can you give me an example of how to pass that login info in the URL as well as in the iframe module? Thanks.

Try this:

Redirect the Iframe to an aspx- page in your DNN-root directory

In page Load the following code:

Dim PortalID As Integer, UserID As Integer
Dim Password As String
Dim TheUser As New UserInfo()
Dim UserName As String
Dim dnnUserCtrl As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController
Dim dnnUserInfo As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo

        PortalID = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.PortalID
        UserID = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.UserID
        UserName = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username
     
        If UserName <> "" Then
            TheUser = UserController.GetUser(PortalID, UserID, False) 
            password = UserController.GetPassword(TheUser, "")
        
            Response.Redirect("http://www.otherwebsite.com/receive.aspx?Password=" & password & "&Name=" & UserName)
        End If
