As far as I see, your problem is connected with the fact that Internet explorer doesn’t allow user names and passwords in urls.

Helga,

Thank you,

We are using basic authentication as a placeholder for real security, for now.

Embedding the username and password was a temporary hack for suppressing the browser’s popup window from opening on the first connection request.

I didn’t realize this would be an issue in IE and Edge.

Thanks for the quick save!
