    Description

      When changing between different OFBiz apps, session id `externalLoginKey' will be inserted into URL as a query string. But sensitive info like that should not be included in URL if we concerning about security, as it will be exposed in following scenarios:

      1. It will be recorded in browser history
      2. It will be recorded in web server access log
      3. It will be sent to other servers in Referer header

      Anyone get this key can log into OFBiz without authentication, until that key expired.
