sde passwords

[Steve Lime]

We've been using cookies as a way to pass a username/password to MapServer. For example, our application will prompt users for a username and password when they first try to hit an SDE layer and use session cookies to store it. Then via the MapServer CGI you can insert those cookies directly into the connection URL:

  CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
  CONNECTION "sde.dnr.state.mn.us,mycoverage,dummy,%username%,%password%"

For connections to SDE, how are folks protecting password information?
