Depends on the application. If you have a multi-user / multi-homed app
(that is, it exists on several workstations sharing data, then use a
database like SQL, MSDE, or Access even (for smaller apps).

Of course Encrypt it as well. The registry is only really useful for
something machine specific or user specific such as program settings,
definatly not usernames and passwords.

You *could* use a GUID for each user, but not for uniqueness. The username
itself should be unique. GUID's are often use to obscure data and make it
safer to pass it back and forth between forms and what not without moving
sensitive data.

So yeah, you could/should. Depends on how sensitive / secure your data is.

Hi,

should i keep some GUID for each user and when he will connect i will check
his GUID instead of user and password ?

Thanks.

Tiraman,

This sounds for me really unsave, something as that when there is a burglar
he can use the computer and logon, why not use the integrated roll based
security?

There is a sample in the resource kit.

I assume you have it or have the links?

I hope this helps?

Hi CJ,
I mean that in the first time the user put his user and password and he/she
will ask to remember it
I will do the login and I will create for him some GUID and this will be
saved in his computer
so in the next time I will check if there is already GUID in the computer
and so on ...

Thanks,
T;-)

Hi ,
It Sounds Good to use the integrated security but
I don't have the link for that

Thanks
