Link-based Login into Web UI

Normally, a human user logs on to Teamscale via the log-in page by entering username and password. However, there are cases where the log-in should be performed automatically when opening the first Teamscale page. This can be for instance needed for integrating Teamscale dashboards in other websites or showing them on public screens. This is supported by the automatic log-in feature via URL. You can provide the username and password as well as the target page to open within the URL.

As an example, logging in user john with password PASSWORD can be done with the following URL, which will redirect to the Dashboard perspective:

Auto-login URL

http://teamscale.acme.com/login.html?autologin=john:PASSWORD&target=dashboard.html

Keep Url Private

Store the url above securely, as it will fully authenticate the user in the web UI.
