Re: InstantDB: Basic security (user/password authentication)

Because we plan to use InstantDB for Java courses, using one JSP/Servlet
Engine (ie. single VM).  We'll allow students to load their own copies of
InstantDB from these JSP/Servlets and we but don't want them to have the 
ability to view/modify databases of other students.
