password applet parameter handling in 3.1.2

[Brian Rudy]

I just upgraded to 3.1.2 from 3.0.1 and it looks like the 'password' 
parameter when using MindTerm as an applet has either changed or stopped 
working for password-based logins. With 3.0.1 and 2.4.2, all that was 
needed was to pass server, username and password with quiet=true to 
automatically log in to a machine. The behavior with 3.1.2 is to show a 
password prompt despite being passed a valid 'password' parameter.

I noticed that in the 3.1.1 release notes host-based authentication had 
been made to work and figured the default authentication method may have 
changed, so I tried forcing 'auth-method' to password but this seems to 
have no effect.


Any suggestions?
