Abandon Dynamic Parameters in Weblinks

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

Adding dynamic parameters to weblinks allows personal data to be passed on:

• session ID,
• ILIAS ID and
• matriculation number

The transfer of this personal data is not made transparent to end users. This violates privacy rules and should be abandonned. 

Additionally if the feature was dropped the Form could be replaced by a KS-Form.
