What is the syntax using FM7's IWP and built in security to pass the username and password through external form or a link?

I may need both options if it is at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

You can construct a URL using a calculated field and then open the URL using the Open URL script step. The user name can be included using the Get( AccountName ) function, but I don't see anyway to include the password.

To clarify, the "logging in" will be done BEFORE FM is accessed, either through a standard cgi form or through another system we have. Basically, if we were to try to integrate a NON-FM system into an FM system, we would only want the users to enter their user and password ONCE.

I know we can get the user to a DB using a URL string (ex.):

http://1.1.1.1:8080/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=DATABASE&-loadframes

but is there syntax to also pass the user and db so it bypasses the Login Prompt. I didn't see anything in the tech briefs and the IWP Guide that comes with 7 only mentions the above syntax
