scripting auth/passwd

[Melissa Silvestre]

Forgive me if this has already been discussed to death,
but we need to find a way to hide from patrons an
authorization/password combo of the kind that goes
into that box that pops up from some web pages (as opposed
to the fill-in-the-form kind like FirstSearch).
We have our own web server (Unix Solaris) if needed but the
actual pages doing the popping-up are not under
our control.

We'd be interested in any solutions that could work
either on just stations within the library or (ideally)
for all remote users (assuming we can ip-check).

Thanks for any help, pointers, etc.

Melissa S.
