Post Secure Link Options

[TracyL]

I currently have a membership site setup once someone logs in it takes them to a page where they click on a button that is setup as:
<form action="http://www.xxx.com/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="siteid" value="xxxxx">
<input type="hidden" name="theme" value="standard">
<button type="submit" style="border:0px;background-color:#FFF;color:blue;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;">Get Access</button>

The link that they are going to is a part of our website and owned by us but not hosted by us. We use Post so that someone can't just copy the full URL and get access without coming through the membership login. The membership portion of the site is through WordPress.

We have a corporate client that wants to provide a link to all of their employees so that they can bypass having to register to get access. My thought is to provide them with a link so that when employees click on the link it does a redirect and takes them directly to end page. Is there a way to do this? Provide a link and then that page redirects via the same type of Post Secure as above?

Thanks!

Sorry - I'm a newbie and probably didn't explain it correctly. Let me see if I can explain it better. The other site is a white label solution that was customized for us - we do not handle any of the coding or tech side of that software. We are told by them that in order to mask the URL so that someone can't just type it in we need to use a Post Secure link:

<form action="http://www.xxx.com/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="siteid" value="xxxxx">
<input type="hidden" name="theme" value="standard">
<button type="submit" style="border:0px;background-color:#FFF;color:blue;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;">Get Access</button>

So what we do is have each individual register and login to our site. Once they are logged in they click on the button that says "Get Access" and it takes them to our white label site. If someone tries to just type in the main portion of the URL to gain access then a message comes up telling them that they have to log in to gain access.

Technically I guess someone could look at the source code and figure out the link but I highly doubt that they would do that and most people wouldn't know how to. Plus they would still have to be registered and login in order to do that. And even if they did and typed it in I'm not sure they still wouldn't be able to gain access.

Our client has a backend site that their employees log in to in order to gain access to their benefits. They have our information listed and then a button to take them to our site. Their site only allows this button to have a URL - they would have to bring in their developers to change this in order to the Post Secure that we do. So I could technically just bypass the login and take them to the page with the button to Gain Access but they I open myself up to Google finding that page and listing it. I was hoping that I could just set that same page up with a redirect where I can do the Post Secure. But not sure if that is even feasible to do.

Can't they use the same Get Access form as on your own site?

Their site only allows this button to have a URL

Didn't understand that part. Why not?

- they would have to bring in their developers to change this in order to the Post Secure that we do.

That sounds like the easiest solution.

You might use javascript to submit the "Get Access/Post secure" form automatically when the form page loads. Other than that, I don't think you can redirect a POST form submission without first submitting it manually a second time.
