I just entered a feature enhancement for this. (I have been sitting on this task for too long and, when I saw your thread, I thought it was finally time.)
"Similar to storing CFQUERY datasource connections in the ColdFusion Administrator, I would like the ability to store usernames/passwords for CFLDAP and CFFTP, etc in the CF Administrator. The main purpose is to keep usernames and passwords away from developers. Sometimes, when using CFLDAP, you must specify a domain administrator account to perform certain functions. I would prefer these passwords to now always appear, in plain text, in any pages that use CFLDAP/CFFTP." You might add your own to increase the importance of this feature.

Hello, I have a concern about embedding a password in my site. I have a site which uses two LDAP accounts for displying and editing the site contents which are stored in LDAP. So my issue is that I'm storing a password in one of my cfc files which is using an account(Service Type Account) and I'm affraid if someone gets a hold of this cfc file they now have the account name and password to my LDAP directory. Can someone please suggest a better way to store the password for the site. Thanks, - Charles PS: This a is a short term need, I'm going to do a re-write to leverage the LDAP directory and the assigned privileges in the directory to control this but for the next few months I have to live with this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
