userName

The name of an authenticated user. This does not have to map to a Windows account.

createPersistentCookie

Specifies whether or not a durable cookie ( one that is saved across browser sessions ) should be issued.

strCookiePath

Specifies cookie path.

This has the effect of creating an authenticated user. Applications can use this when they intend to manually redirect, or if they do not want to redirect. For example, you can use this for an embedded logon area on a page.
