Description of the issue

With IWP, we were able to include the following in a url to have IWP auto login as a specific user which worked well for web pages for specific use using IWP...

&acct=account&name=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&login=Login&-authdb

That doesn't seem to work with webdirect. Is there a way to build a webdirect url that will pass in the credentials?

Steps to reproduce the problem

Tried to append the params that IWP used in WebDirect

Expected result

Expected create a URL to open a database and auto login using the supplied username and password in the URL.

Actual result

Went to a login screen for the database supplied in in URL

Exact text of any error message(s) that appear
