Auto Login Splunk 5

After upgrading my development environment from version 4 => 5, my environment stopped auto authentication. I'm trying to find info on getting it back to the way it was, but haven't had much luck. The goal is to open up the environment (EX: http://server:8000) and have it auto authenticate as the administrator.

Thanks in advance!

How did you implement "auto authentication"? If you were using the free license (which has no authentication), you may have installed a new 5.0 trial license over it. You can convert this to the free license again (with no authentication) in the license GUI screens. But of course you will again lose the non-free features in the product.
