Is it possible to configure username and password on the URL for the WestlawNext routing page
Benjamin Fairchild
Is it possible to configure username and password on the URL for the WestlawNext routing page as it was for the WestlawClassic slide page, and if so, how?

I'm not the expert, but since nobody else has answered, I'll say this much:
I don't believe so, or at the least hope not. URL paths can be stored in browser caches, web proxies, etc.
Most people have a bookmarklet to log in, and some people even have scriptlets to automate routing log in.
Here is an example bookmarklet to log in once on the login page, I know that it isn't exactly what you want since you hope to hit the routing page and then redirect to the log in page and log in, but it is what I have:
javascript:void(document.getElementById("coid_website_userNameTextbox").value = "Your.Id"); void(document.getElementById("coid_website_passwordTextbox").value = "YourAwesomePassword"); void(document.getElementById("coid_website_signOnButton").click());

As Erik stated, the JavaScript bookmark is the only way. Currently there is no ability to log in via the routing page.
