[Solved] Saving password for jdbc connection

I have successfully set up my database to run in a hsqldb server, multi user.

Each time I start frontend.odb, It requires the password. Is there a way to save that in the file?

Install my FreeHSQLDB and run macro FreeHSQLDB.FreeHSQLDB.Main
In the dialog you can enter the password. It is saved unencrypted within the database document therefore it is a security flaw. The severity depends on the privileges that are granted to database user. For confidential data I would not even save an unencrypted password that grants read-only access.

Thank you for the solution. I'll have to think about security before deploying, that is certain.
