Hi Wang,

You can use Tomcat SSO instead. Look for  security.login.tomcat.sso in security.properties file. If it's OK w/ you please close as "Information provided", TIA

> 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.
