#4018 [HHQ-3868] Allow credentials to be passed via POST or query

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-3868


In HQ 3.2.x it was possible to authenticate and log into HQ by passing the users credentials directly as a query parameter. For example:

http://hqserver:7080/j_security_check.do?j_username=user&j_password=pass

This ability was removed in 4.2. This request is to open the discussions around how we would allow this in the future. Obviously passing these credentials as query parameters is questionable from a security standpoint.
