A system for connecting wireless terminals to a WAP gateway and thence to the
Internet
for providing content to the wireless terminals from Internet web servers includes
an AutoLogin proxy and an AutoLogin database associated with the WAP gateway. On
an initial login of a particular terminal to a particular web server an entry is
made in the AutoLogin database of the user identification, the server URL, and
the user-name/password pair required for that user to log in to that server. On
subsequent logins to the server the proxy retrieves the user-name/password pair
from the database, thus freeing the user of the necessity to enter it for each
login which might be cumbersome to do given the limited input facilities provided
on wireless terminals.
