If you know how to set up the OWS 2.0 sytle DCD (with hardcoded usernameand
password), then the OWAS 3.0 DAD setup is easy: Basically define
everything the same. In the DCD setup, be sure to fill in the fields for
database user and database user password. But (here's the one difference), at
the
bottom of that page, there`s a checkbox for 'Store the user name and password
in the DAD'. Leave this box unchecked. This way, the config files will not
store the user/password, and OWAS will prompt the user for a user/password
when needed.
