Hello, I created an iframe module and Im working with querystring parameters. The available parameters are user id, user email, etc, but I don't see any User Password. I need to pass the user password to the iframe because the site which is inside the frame needs DNN user id and password.

I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks a lot in advance.

You can't pass a password to a page inside IFrame. It's a security block intentionally left there - we don't want anybody to see someone else's password. In IFRAME, everything is passed via QueryString which makes it completely visible to anyone with  minimal level of interest...

passing password is not possible due to security constraints (anyone might catch up the url with DNN use credentials)

As said, this is not a good situation. However, I have and do use a secure webservices to check a DNN users auth, role, etc.. This is one workaround.

Another way to do it would be to add a SALT setting (to be used in password encryption) and provide an encryption/decryption dll to be used on the IFrame's site.
