You might be able to pass the user information through the BIRT context rather than sending it through a URL parameter. The would require that you use Java to call the BIRT engines though, I think, if you're not doing that. Another way would be to just pass the encrypted value through a parameter and then just decrypt it in your beforeOpen script of your dataSet and then pass through the decrypted value in your dataSource/dataSet.
