There's a group here at UF working on a way to authenticate laptop users
of our networks via a cookie generated by a web page visit. The laptop
needs only a ssl-capable browser - no special client software. The web
server takes the userid and passwd, authenticates against a kerberos 5
server, and deposits a cookie on the laptop which other web services can
use for single-sign-on style authentication.

Mac laptops not only have a browser, but the AFP client too. So, is
there a way I can make a Mac mount an afp volume via a web page visit?
