John,

This was a temporary measure due to delivery time constraints.  As of
Nevada  build 79, the username and password will only be used to join
the domain (when specified with the smbadm command) and will no
longer be stored.  The ads_user and ads_passwd properties will be
deprecated and removed.

We will be publishing information on

It's not a problem for people to provide URLs to this site.
