Summary: Passwords entered when connecting are stored

Initial Comment:
In 3.0, if a username but no password was specified for a connection, the user would be prompted for a password when trying to connect.  This would not be stored on the filesystem.

In 3.5 RC5, if a username but no password was specified for a connection, an error is given when trying to connect, and the user is prompted for a password.  This is then stored in the connection profile.

My company has a strong policy that passwords not be stored.  SQL Explorer 3.5 will have to go back to the old behavior before we can use it.

Message:
This is fixed in RC6.
If you don't check the 'Auto logon' box in the connection profile the
password is never stored on filesystem.
It is hold in memory after you have entered it on the first connect dialog
in the current session and will be reused for
further logins on the same profile.
