IO-field:

Properties > Security > Operation > Hidden input

Hidden input will give you '*'.

You could use the tag-datatype 'string' or 'stringchar'.

I would assign a password to a function-key who makes the call of the page. Or you can do this with one or more objects in your page.

Softkey-F1 > General > Runtime autorisation.

Softkey's also have the function 'logoff'.

You will need to define the Runtime user administration:

- groups; here you can make and change new groups and their rights.
- users: individual persons who belong to a group.
- Runtime security settings: e.g. pasword aging (valid for ... days).
