As far as I know, there are only two ways to send data to a web page apart 
from GET (arguments to the url):
  * POST data
  * Cookie data

POST works for sending the username/password to computer B. No problems 
there that I can see. However, I don't know any way of redirecting and 
sending POST data. (You could have a "You have logged on successfully, 
click this submit button to continue" page, of course.) Which means if you 
want seamless redirection your only hope is a cookie, which means (a) the 
user has to accept cookies, and (b) both servers have to have the 
same/similar domain names.
