The easiest way is not to provide username and password at all - it would require user to enter credentials before opening the form.

Here are several suggestions from the OTN Forms forum; check whether you'll find something useful.

You can also create a configuration in 'formsweb.cfg' which will hide the initial form name and the logon information.

Search this forum for 'formsweb.cfg' or google it.

Hi David,

I have tried searching the forum already and the suggestion Littlefoot gave, but still didn't get success. I was wondering if you or any one can help me in how to change the webforms.cfg file to hide the user name and password in the URL.

Thank You.
