login - Adding a username/password to a URL -


i have web address i'm trying add functionality username/password included.

this not super secure website, on 'https' because other 1 username/password that's used in organization, it's secure outside world. it's online school website portal login.

i've tried this...

username:password1@university.edu/portal/server.pt 

and this...

https://xxx.university.edu/portal/server.pt?username=someuser&password=somepassword 

(thanks ali b)

...but doesn't work. understanding ms fixed bug allowed happen after ie6.

any chance of workaround out there?

reason after many people try log it, locks out trying attempt login, , when whole organization can't log in, that's problem.

thoughts?

edit: should known address accessed on ie8 only. it's our corporate browser.

microsoft officially stopped supporting username/password combos in urls. ie 6 last ie support function.
