Ultimately what I am trying to do is to go to a particular website, say

1) https://www.example.com/main/index.html

But you cannot go to that site unless you are authenticated via

2) https://www.example.com/registration/login.html
3) https://www.example.com/registration/login_2.html
4) Siteminder https://www.example.com/login/login.fcc

If not authenticated when you get to 1) you are automatically redirected to 2). You fill out a form with username and password to get to 3) which consists of a form with hidden values of your username and password which automatically submit to 4), which does the authentication and then once authenticated your username is passed as a header value all the way back to 1).
