What does this mean? most of the advanced functionality for DreamweaverMX needs this RDS login. Without it, teaching Dreamweaver with ColdFusion is severly knobbled. No database server behavours.
You could teach DW/CF integration using a local version of the CF developer edition rather than relying upon the central server.
But how to do it? As far as I can tell, giving someone an RDS login allows them to connect to every database available on that machine, bypassing the password used in creating the DSN. Not exactly secure.
Well they will be able to see the DSNs yes. You could nominate passwords in the code for access and not in the datasource entry -- but that has its own issues. There's not a lot you got going for you here.
am I pushing sh*t uphill because I'm using Professional, not Enterprise?
Enterprise is not going to give you any additional RDS options. It will let you sandbox applications from each other on the server and restrict access to datasources and the like -- but this is in the context of the APPLICATION and not in the context of the development tool accessing through RDS.
I think you need to rethink your overall approach -- from a sort of helicopter view, what are you trying to set up for your users?? Perhaps there is an easier alternative.
Hope that helps,
