How to pass usr/pwd to webservice?

Hi folks,

Until lately I had no problem connection to a map-service with an URL looking like this

https://username:password@server/resource

The machine was restored from a crash and now Qlikview refuses to connect to the web-service.

Trying the URL works perfect in Chrome but in IE I get an error as described in this Microsoft article

Internet Explorer does not support user names and passwords in Web site addresses (HTTP or HTTPS URL...

Any suggestions on how to pass the user/pwd to the webservice from within Qlikview?

(There is an option to change a flag in the win-registry but since this is a global company the IT-department is not very flexible so that is the last option)

brgds

Andy
