persistent sign on for Zend Server

[Larry Kleinman <larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using Zend Server, I would like to present a sign-on screen where the user 
enters a user ID and password to be used as the parms of the i5_connect 
function.  This is not hard, but I want to present that screen only once, 
and use that info as the user moves from screen to screen, all of which 
will require a 15_connection.  I know that I can store the user and 
password entered as $_SESSION variables, but I don;t like the idea of the 
password being written to some place on the PC hard drive.  (That's how 
$_SESSION works, right?).  Any suggestions on how to deal with this.
