Hidden -- no. If the requirement is to pass the password in
the url,
the url is visible. Other then your personal choice of not
displaying
the URL tool bar which can switched usually under the view
-> tool bars
menu. But this is not something a programmer can enforce on a
user.
Encrypted -- yes. You can scramble and encrypt the value in
many
manners. Of course this will require the system receiving the
value to
understand how the password was scrambled and encrypted. So
that would
depend on what capabilities this Hyperion system has.
