I believe that this is by design, at least for now, because we don't want to send the password in the URL (which is the only way to connect to the other server).

But maybe in the future this could be done with tokens, if possible.

CC @LukasReschke I assume you agree that we have to wait until we have proper tokens to support this.

Sending the password at this stage would cause security trouble.
This is a nice to have enhancement and we're past feature freeze => 9.0
