Hi Larry,<br>
<br>
Sorry - I can't comment on a technical level.<br>
<br>
But as a user I very much welcome such a safe password/connection
storage combined with a password manager. I bothered me a lot to see
passwords when hovering a layer in the layer manager, and to see the
plain text connection info in the .qgs file. I know, there are
workarounds (e.g. .pgpass), but most users are not aware about it.<br>
<br>
Thank you for already considering QGIS server to correctly deal with
the authentication, where there is no user input.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I have drafted a QEP [0] for the introduction of a new
authentication configuration system that is protected with a
master password, and its associated pull request [1], which
includes a fully functional implementation with bindings, unit
tests and test server (Tomcat/GeoServer).<br>
<br>

<div>Direct link to QEP preview: [2].<br>

<div>Please test if you have the available time. Note the new
dependency on QCA (and its OpenSSL plugin), which will need
built and installed first. Contact me if you need help with
that, as I have built QCA 2.1.0 on all major platforms.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Note: I am looking for another core developer willing to
review the code in exchange for *payment*. Please contact me
directly if you are interested.<br>
