Is it best to use a username and password with my DSN?

We recommend that any DSN setup on our servers be done WITHOUT the use of a Username/Password. We recommend setting a password on all Access Databases that are uploaded to our servers for several reasons.Providing the Username/Password combination in your code is the preferred and suggested method of setting up, and accessing your database, for secure coding. **CFDynamics is not responsible for any security issues if you are allowing ColdFusion Administrator to pass this information in a DSN.**
