You can hard-code the username/password into the URL line. That's the easiest way to do things for both kiosk and non-interactive NOC screens.

http://<your orion server>/<blahblah>?AccountID=<username>&Password=<password>

?AccountID=USER&Password=PASSWORD

The Orion website uses a regular HTML form for authentication. If you send a POST with the right values as form data, the response will provide you with a valid session cookie.

Could I ask why you want to do this?

Another way to do it would be to configure Windows authentication for the Orion website and give the kiosk user account rights in Orion. Then you would bypass the login screen entirely.
