I'm building a database frontend and program for the Attorneys to input data and recieve data and cases. I'm planning to use MySQL as a database. (Any other database suggestions for this type?) Each Attorney will have its own log-in / password. Should I have the username/password as the MySQL user/password? Or should I use a flatfile with password encryption or something?
I never really built a cgi script that involves secure password data, so im sort of new to this field.
