Secured pages #3

Is there a recommended path for showing secured pages? We have dashboards that are behind authorization in third party apps that we'd like to push to a screen. right now the only path is to share those directly from a chrome tab.

What type of authorization is it? If it's HTTP basic auth, then you can encode that in the address like this:

http://username:password@server.com/path/to/page

If it's something else, then you're pretty much out of luck. In theory this could be done, but only if the page you're trying to view is badly secured. Because you shouldn't be able to login to a third-party site using iframes.
