Don't do that :-).  As you've just discovered it creates a security weakness.

I use 

variables.AppName="somename_" & variables.myDSNName & "_" &
TimeFormat(CreateODBCTime(Now()),"HHmmss");

The above is part of an installer that writes an /Application.cfm to
disk as part of the install routine.  I've also used UUIDs for this,
but for the most part just appending the date and time to your
application name is sufficient.

I have my own servers but still I do a datasource similarly.  somename
(not necessarily the url) & date+time.
