I think it would be handy for Lucee Admin to have the ability to store username and password, plus other attributes, for other tags in the same why as cfquery and cfmail does.
Other tags:
cfhttp
cfftp
cfimap
cfldap
cfpop
It would also be good to be able to store username and passwords, plus other attributes for other things such as web services.
Maybe this can be set up as a CFC and distribute tag based versions, and then people can create their own.
multiple 'anything including connections could be set using the datasource= naming conventions, pehaps using source=
as for encrypting passwords, this could be done via a secret key that is presented to the server along with username and password, or standard encryption using inbuilt encryption (not recommended.)
