ABSTRACT:
A mechanism to dynamically present basic authentication and cookie information to a web browser user. As part of a login, a user will have entered a userid and password as part of the basic authentication process. He or she also can configure the web browser to display cookies that are sent to the browser for setting. After their initial display, however, this information is either hidden or not easily accessible to the user. The present invention is a mechanism that allows a web browser user easy access to his or her logged-on userid and cookies.
