Currently the app has a username and password hardcoded in the db initialization code. Is this a security threat? I read somewhere on these forums that the authentication communication is hashed and encrypted. Anyone have any experience with this?

If it's just normal, run of the mill data to people to use then it's not a big deal I would think. But, if your data is a Top Security Risk then YES! Make sure you have everything encrypted and locked down that needs to be locked down or you will regret it later. _________________ Jonathon Software Devlopement: http://www.medalertpc.com Surplus Hardware: http://www.semielectronics.com RB2005 R4 Pro for Windows XP Pro/SP2 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 2 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
