In 11g, we used an HTML page to capture username, password, and DB to start forms.

We used the formsweb.cfg to specify userid=%username%/%password%@%database%.

Out html would prompt the user for these values and launch forms using those parameters.

Apparently, 12C did away with that convention - The invalid login message show and present a login window where I can see the %username%/%password%@%database% displayed in the three fields for login. WLS is not using the content of those parameters but instead using the literal.

My question is how can I pass a username, password, and database captured in an html file used to launch the forms application?
