What I meant to request is the following. I have users who run apps on UNIX. In order to do that they need an account and priv ot run exe. Hence the web app display login screen and their profile runs the app. But I want them to run app without entering password. Since Unix logins are audited, the passwords need to change every two months atleast and should use MD5 standard. Thanks.
