Auto-Login

• Pre-authentication
• index.html (takes username and password)
• Here we redirect it to the appropriate page by
  supplying the username and password on the
  background

Relay/Server Communications
username, password and account status
Directory
1.Relay sends username and password
Stoneware Server
Stoneware Relay
3. Server returns status code to Relay
2. Server locates username, verifies password and
account status
11
Post-Authentication

• Sets a Session ID
• Determines users access, builds navigational
  links
• The user is now logged in
• Presents the user with a web page ( the order
  form)
