Securely passing user credentials for access to an application through a network portal

Systems and techniques to enable access of an application through a network portal to integrate that network application into the portal services provided to a user. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes generating a network address including user credentials in a query portion of the network address. The technique also includes generating an encrypted network request using a command which causes a network server to not log the query portion of the network address and causing a redirect at a network browser after employing the network address in the network request.
