Passing WordPress credentials to 3rd party site.

We need to pass the WP username password or a some sort of token to a 3rd party site that allows for login by-pass. Their documentation suggest a hidden form. See code example below. Sounds easy but I"m not sure exactly how to go about it from the WP end...specifically writing the code that will pass the username/password through the form. Any ideas?

3rd party documentation code:

Sample Page with a link (uses a hidden form to submit)

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<title>Digital StoreFront</title>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function Login()

{

document.getElementById("Form1").submit();

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<a href="javascript:Login()">LoginByPass</a>

<form id="Form1" action="http://dsfserver/DSF/signin.aspx?SITEGUID=c9c70a5c-95ef-40c9-b5b5-5b2c891d3d84" method="post">

<input type="text" name="token" id="token" value="LOGIN_BYPASS_USER_NAME" />

<input type="hidden" name="pwd" id="pwd" value="LOGIN_BYPASS_PWD" />

<!--  Example using blank password below (value="" when not sending password)

<input type="text" name="pwd" id="pwd" value=" " />

</form>

</body>

</html>

End 3rd party documentation code.
