auto login from outside servicedesk

auto login from outside servicedesk

Hi all,
We are trying to pass username and password from a SSO portal to the ServiceDesk plus login screen.  We have tried 2 different method and both return bad username/password - but I know the username and password being passed are correct and can use them to manually login to the page.

Method One:
POST j_username, j_password, domain to j_security_check and bypass the login page

Method Two:
broswer plugin that correctly populates username and password field (like a remembered password) and hits return, but then returns bad username/password

My thought is that the j_security_check has a parameter to only accept submissions that come directly from the login page, so the two methods we are trying fails this parameter.

Has anyone been able to POST username/password to auto login a user? 

Thanks
Brad
