@CIPHER (encrypt/decrypt) has options that will go from simply hiding
the values such as a ROT13 to industry standard encryption using 3DES. 

You can encrypt just the value, StaffID=hu7ahf8awh89f, or the entire
name/value string. The latter option would require you to decrypt the
string, tokenize your name/values and manually assign request variables
for usage in your application.

This can create a lot of overhead (but good security) and it's usually
easier to assign a user variable that would key your searches. If your
StaffID belongs to a company, assign the CompanyID to a user variable,
and then search on both the CompanyID (user) and StaffID (arg) at the
same time. If your user types new values for StaffID in the URL
manually, they will only get a 'hit' on Staffers at their own Company,
which they would normally have access to (in my example).

Subject: Witango-Talk: Hiding WiTango Search Arguements in a URL

Hello,

        I have a link passing variables in the URL to another taf. Is
there
any way to hide the variables so that they get passed but don't show up
in
the address bar of the recieving taf.
        For example is there any way to pass the Staffid but on
recieving
taf not show the actual staffid value in the address bar as in the link
below.

//127.0.0.1/leave/UsersStaffProfile.taf?StaffID=451 


Thanks for any assistance.
