Oi,

Here's Dru's response to a related question I had last year. I expect
the logic can be used for the server field too:

User interface is initialised first, then the database.
It use to work, I haven't tested it in a year so theres always the
chance it could of broken somewhere along the line.  But it is all
written, and should work.

set this in config file
db_login_xml=login.xml
bond will look at pgusername/pgpassword etc and use them to connect
instead of the config values.

You can then modify the editable or visibility of widgets with the
security flag, so you can turn of parts of the app to certain postgresql
roles/groups (also has not been tested in a while)
