Uwe's got you started on the answer. You would use your own subclass
of dSecurityManager to get your login information from the user,
using its validateLogin() hook method to authenticate. Then you can
override its afterLoginSuccess() hook method to do whatever you need
it to do; in your case, by creating the connection. So your code
would look something like this:
def afterLoginSuccess(self):
ci = dConnectInfo(DbType="MySQL", Host="localhost", User=self.UserName,
PlainTextPassword=self._password, Database="myData",
Name="myConnection")
self.Application.addConnectInfo(ci)
As far as getting the username and password from the dialog, you'll
have to store the password value yourself in validateLogin(), as the
class by default does not do that for the password. In the code
above, I've assumed that it is stored in an attribute named
'_password', but you can call it whatever you like.
Once you add the dConnectInfo object to the app, it will be
available just as if you had defined it in a .cnxml file.
