don't know if i understood you right, but if you only want to redirect to a http-auth-secured site without the annoying popup, you can sent the username and password in the url:

http://username:[email protected]/adminpanel/

note that, with this solution, the password is readable in the url and some browsers (IE only <=6, this was disabled in the newer versions) don't support this - maybe thats a problem for you. for more information, take a look at this article

Short answer is that you can't.

Redirecting to http://user:[email protected]/ will work on some browsers but not all.

You could use a substitute authentication module, and push a value into it - e.g. using mod_authmemcookie on Apache if you're happy to tweak the server config like this (and have a cookie you can use).

With basic auth, the browser will re-send credentials when requested by the server. This only works for the same hostname though.
