script to log onto the SW Orion website?

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?

I need to setup a monitor as a kiosk. they would like the site to come up and log in on start of the computer.

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

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.

That worked, Leon.

Thanks!!

just for giggles.. does that work with NOC views?

Yep
