Request to review Maximo URL passing username and password directly

This is in reference to existing capability of Maximo login in following TechNote
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21443945
As per technote Maximo allows connecting directly to StartCenter EVEN when SSL https connection is used .

We would like this to be addressed in Maximo login process /code so that it would prevent the embedded username password URL to by pass login page ( For example a flag in code /database MAXVARS to set this as an option )

    Thank you for your submission. At this time there are no plans within the next several releases to introduce this capability.

    This is part of launch in context functionality of the Maximo,  Passing userid and password on url  as a get process is not a good practice ,  We can consider this as hardening security and only allow post action for secure parameters like userid , password etc.   At this point we can not prevent this and it will have to consider as a future enhancement request.

    Hello I noticed this is under consideration which is appreciated .I would highlight that the business justification and seriousness in that nowadays when there are a lot of Cloud based machines users , risk is even higher for a 'web crawling ' program to detect the URL and publish it on the WWW for search engine
