URL Options Not Reaching Dedicated Server

I have set up a dedicated server and I’m trying to pass a username (and eventually authentication details) via the OpenLevel url blueprint. Then, in my GameMode::EventOnPostLogin, I try to read my ‘OptionsString’. There is nothing from the url string in it. As you can see (in the line “Login request: /Game/Maps/map_Entry?user=BlahBlah userId: Invalid”), the url is in the “Login Request” line, but not when I check it in ‘onPostLogin’. The “Get Options String” now reads “?Name=Player”. Why is Options String incorrect here?

Additionally: When this “Login request” line talks about a “userId: Invalid”, what is that? Is that a method I can use to login to my dedicated server?

See this server console output:

P.S. I was thinking that “Options String” is reflecting the original .bat file command that initiates the server.exe, but I don’t have anything like “Name=Player” on this line: “start AA02mp_SavingServer.exe /Game/Maps/map_Main -PORT=7800 -log”

I am doing the same thing in my multiplayer server system and I pull the incoming URL options inside this method:

FString AOWSGameMode::InitNewPlayer(APlayerController* NewPlayerController, const FUniqueNetIdRepl& UniqueId, const FString& Options, const FString& Portal)

Using code like this:

FString PlayerName = UGameplayStatics::ParseOption(Options, TEXT(“Player”));

any solution in this point ?
