oh gosh i just read the horrors of the old vs the New dataset and no mapping documentation. I really dont need this. Along this line is there a way to get a connection using JDBC and not use username and passwd? I saw the token based option and the Cert options.. was just wondering if there is a way around maintaining the user account it is connected to for password retention? The head admin is sick of managing the account. Help!! if you can, I would appreciate it dearly.
