Hi Tim/All.

I was wondering if it is possible to get the users password without having to use the admin port.  The reason I ask as that I am considering having my app disconnect after 15 mins of inactivity.  I want to just disconnect them and if they need to use it again they would need to log back in.  However I was considering the option of automatically logging them back in by supplying the username and password myself.  I know the users will moan if they have to keep on logging back in.

Any suggestions?  I guess once way would be to roll my own login dialog, but I was hoping there might be another option available?

Regards
David.

You could do so by using the TDBISAMSession.OnLogin event to intercept the user's login, but that would involve creating your own login dialog for the instances when the user actually needs to log in.

Thank Tim that could work.  Is there any downside to creating your own dialog?

No, the existing dialog looks kind of crappy, anyway.
