Is there a way to pass server login information via a link?
I have a login screen that is doing a @DBlookup to determine the correct UNID for the password/username. It then returns a link to that document.
However in order to edit that document you have to login, is there any way I can automatically pass this information if they validate via my log in screen?

What do you mean by “my” login screen? Are you using Domino’s session authentication? Or have you built your own independent login facility that Domino is unaware of.
If you are using session authentication, then the answer is no, you can’t get the user’s password. But hopefully you’re not actually using that as part of your lookup key. Anyhow, once the user has gotten past the session authentication screen, they are authenticated and @Username will work – so the usual technique is to have the login screen open a form that does the @DbLookup using @Username as the key and sends a redirect back to the browser.
