When you create a "Data Connection" in LiveCycle Designer it's up to you to include the proper authentication in the connection string. If necessary, you can modify the connection string at runtime through the "sourceSet" model. There are good examples of how to work with this model in the "Data Drop-Down" component in the "Custom" library.

At present, only Acrobat and the LiveCycle servers can convert XDP in the PDF.

To certify any PDF you simply choose "Save as certified" from the file menu.
