I cannot see that this is possible or else you can bypass all security disregard what program you have.

I think the best way is to have the user re authenticate, and save user and password in a safely way.

You can't copy sessions, because each "browser" instance creates/maintains its own session.

Since it's an internal website, you could just use the user's Windows login to log in to the site.
