Question

Access link parameters

If I'm compelled to visit the forum site, I use a link:

http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa?showpersonalized=true

Is there any way to add login data to this (or any other) link to cut down the

time it takes actually to get into the forum? Like, for example,

http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa?showpersonalized=true&un="Ildhund"&pw="password"

If not, could it be made possible?

    Quite unlikely. These forums are not hosted by Adobe, but by Jive. If

    you were to log in in such a way that would mean that Jive would be

    responsible for forwarding your credentials to Adobe. That is a huge

    security risk, Jive should never have access to your account credentials.

    If not, could it be made possible?

    Better forwarding between these forums and the Adobe SSO environment is

    very well possible, but it will probably take some programming on both

    the Jive and the Adobe end, so it won't be a quick fix.

    Thanks, Jochem. Makes sense, I suppose, but I can't really see what 'huge

    security risk' is involved. Perhaps you could explain. I don't really

    understand all these 'security' implications, but I do understand that posting

    an email address en clair invites spam.

    It was possible to be permanently logged in on the old forums, which were not hosted by Adobe - do you mean the risk is because of the link between an Adobe ID, linked to software purchases etc., and the forums? I've never been convinced that was a good idea anyway.
