I'm trying to establish a "silent" connection using WinHTTP or xmlHTTP starting from an Excel form to our intranet.
I've just written code that opens IE, does login, passes data, compiles form and gets the information I want. Now I want to do the same without open a IE session.
I have written some code and I reach the aim to login and "navigate" to the next page but i can't go on. I think it's a problem with LTPA token. I asked before on the forum a more generic post.
Here is my code
' Takes a string of the form "JSESSIONID=40DD2DFCAF24A2D64544F55194FCE04E;path=/pamsservices;HttpOnly"
' and returns only the portion "JSESSIONID=40DD2DFCAF24A2D64544F55194FCE04E"
Public Function GetJsessionIdCookie(setCookieStr As String) As String
'JSESSIONID=40DD2DFCAF24A2D64544F55194FCE04E;path=/pamsservices;HttpOnly
Dim jsessionidCookie As String
Dim words() As String
Dim word As Variant
words = Split(setCookieStr, ";")
For Each word In words
If InStr(1, word, "JSESSIONID") > 0 Then
jsessionidCookie = word
End If
Next word
GetJsessionIdCookie = jsessionidCookie
End Function
Public Sub Login()

userid = "xxxxxx"
password = "yyyyyyy"

JPassword = "j_password=" & password

I apologize for my bad English and for the "terrible mistakes" I have made.
