    password --> cleartext ????????

    hello,

    i have a form with different database connections. depending on user-actions it is necessary to read/write/update data from db. all this is no problem, but if i didn`t enter the name and password for the secondary connection to the db, the users have to enter the name/pass for the connection! but i don“t want to tell anybody the right account for this (and i think they won`t do this). so i typed the account in and saved it with the form.
    the problem is that anybody who will get the account, can get it because it`s cleartext...

    how can i first: offer the comfort that they won`t enter the name/pass and second: get the password maybe encrypted????

    Hi Nasgul,
    Yes, if you aren't using some kind of user-authentication (which would be better) encryption is probably your best bet.
