About Logon page

Question

Hi All,
I have the following requirement.
I am developing a BSP application that will be run in intranet by end users.
As usual like for all the applications, when I test this application the system asks me for userid and password to the server for authentication.
Now my requirement is that, once the user logson to the system, the login has to be <b>valid for next 24 hours</b>.
That is there should be no logon popup for that particular user again even if he completely closes the application and starts it again.
1. I have tried to do this with cookies, but i could not set up client side persistent cookie which would hold the info about the user and his password. When i used the method REQUEST->SET_COOKIE it did not even set the expiry.
Also this is a session cookie which would be destroyed once the user closes the session. <b>How to set a persistent client side cookie?</b>
2. Is it advisable to use <b>Server side cookies</b> for this purpose? If yes, please let me know how to do it. Code samples would be helpful. I will need to set Username, Password and expiry in the cookie.
3. When we use SAP standard logon, <b>how to retrieve the entered userid and password to set in the cookie?</b> Also if i write a customized logon application still the system prompts me with the usual one. <b>How to disable the standard SAP logon popup in BSP?</b>
Please also let me know if there is any other alternative solution for this. I have already made the application stateful and tried.
Points will be rewarded for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Try using this. These have Expiry date of the Cookie.
  cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>set_server_cookie(
      name                  = name
      application_name      = runtime->application_name
      application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
      username              = sy-uname
      session_id            = runtime->session_id
      data_value            = value
      data_name             = 'data'
      expiry_time_rel       = expiry_time_rel ).
and
  DATA: runtime TYPE REF TO if_bsp_runtime.
  runtime = cl_bsp_runtime=>get_runtime_instance( ).
  cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>get_server_cookie(
    EXPORTING
      name                  = name
      application_name      = runtime->application_name
      application_namespace = runtime->application_namespace
      username              = sy-uname
      session_id            = runtime->session_id
      data_name             = 'data'
    CHANGING
      data_value            = value ).
