  • Would it be useful to save the password in the browser or does it timeout? Would a plug-in like last pass satisfy your needs? (This does not seem a question for the Linux group) Commented Nov 19, 2015 at 10:02
  • plugins like last pass are not an option, I need to launch the browser from terminal passing username and password. The webpage will be displayed on a kiosk without input this all needs to be done from the terminal if possible, without any user input. Thanks for the help Commented Nov 19, 2015 at 10:19
  • Leaving it on a kiosk open wont timeout by default? The best option would be to configure on the webserver an exception not to ask for authentication (yes, I have read you do not control it) Commented Nov 19, 2015 at 10:21
  • It seems a job for some sort of a local proxy doing the authentication and you point your browser to it. Commented Nov 19, 2015 at 10:22
