Yeah... with that I completely agree. I was assuming that he came to terms with the fact that his login *should* be in the application itself instead of breaking it up into pieces.

Crossing authentication barriers is always a hot topic. and the EncryptedStore would be a great place to mount a single sign-on solution for AIR apps. However - to keep this all in perspective - remember that any authentication method that allows credentials acquired during a handshake to be 'handled' outside the originating system isn't secure. it's a very bad idea.

Isn't this a perfect usage of the EncryptedStore feature? Why not save the login credentials when the person first logs in, than save them via the EncryptedStore for the remaining usage. !k _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoffrey Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Can AIR app get Workstation Credentials? Our flex app requires a login(HTML page) before launching the main app(the SWF does not handle the logging in). Converting to an AIR app and I was wondering if I could get the logged in user's credentials from the workstation so we don't require a login screen.
