> j_sequrity_check request is sent like:
> http://localhost:8080/portal/private/j_security_check?j_username=root&j_password=wci-ticket-1044265597&initialURI=/portal/private/classic
> The "root" value is user typed value and recorded in a browser history and server side logs like access_log of apache that not expected to record such sensitive information.
> It causes some problems of security like a shoulder hacking in client side and it put an unnecessary burden to server administrators because they have to manage sensitive information in logs.
