If found, does a "lookup account token" RPC to the project,
obtaining the user name and a weak authenticator.
It attaches to the project using this authenticator.
## Auto-attach from another web site
Suppose you want to make a web site that acts as a "front end"
to a BOINC project or account manager.
Users create accounts on the front-end site,
and they end up computing for the back-end projector AM.
But you want their interaction to be entirely with the front-end site.
Here's how to do this:
* The front-end system must obtain an "RPC key" from the back-end system.
* When a user creates an account on the front-end site, it uses the [create_account RPC](WebRpc#create_account) to create a corresponding account on the back-end site, and it records the authenticator of this account.
* The front-end site has a Download page. This page uses the [download_software()](WebRpc#download) RPC to get info from the back-end system that is used to create Download buttons which auto-attach the user to the back-end system.
To see how this works, look at the example code in
[web_rpc_api.inc](https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/dpa_download_info/html/inc/web_rpc_api.inc).
The download_software() RPC is described [here](WebRpc#download).
Note: this is currently deployed only on the Science United account manager.
