Feedback on code changes under FM 14

Previously my code required a username and password in the inline...

Inline(
-add,
-Database='test',
-Table='camp',
-username='username',
-password='password'
'sessionID'=$Event,
'chapterID'=$chapterID,
'address'=$address,
'city'=$city,
'state'=$state,
'zip'=$zip,
'fname'=$fname,
'lname'=$lname,
-'ponum'=$ponum
) 

Since updating this is how it works - with the Lasso connector setup and FM handling the authentication

inline(
-add,
-Database='database',
-Table='table',
'sessionID'=$Event,
'chapterID'=$chapterID,
'address'=$address,
'city'=$city,
'state'=$state,
'zip'=$zip,
'fname'=$fname,
'lname'=$lname,
'ponum'=$ponum
)
