Can a member login through URL asp-parameters?

http://forums.webwiz.net/login_user.asp - http://forums.webwiz.net/login_user.asp ?user="mik";pw="password"

if, No. Is there another way to pass login parameters to the forum, to get members automatically log in? (not using cookies - which requires members to at least login once manually for the cookie to be set)

No there isn't as this would be a big security hole which could be exploited by hackers.

ok, is there another way to login members automatically (also the first time they login) ?

I'm trying to use the board with a larger site where site-members don't have to login multiple times. If new members are added to the main site and the board, I would like the user to login only once at the main site. (not having to login again for the use of the board).

Can the user and password parameters be passed to the board some other way (from another asp page?)? or can the webwiz-cookie be set by other pages? What params should I use?
