| Hi, We are using 4JS application software on HP-UX 11i . I am just wondering what the correct permissions on FGLPROFILE should be in order to hide any passwords stored in there and any ideas for my problem ? -r--r--r-- appowner appgroup fglprofile.dbtype We have a version of the application working against both Informix and Oracle databases. With Informix its not so much a problem but with Oracle we have the userid and password stored in the above file in a hardcoded cleartext format. Entries in there are as follows: dbi.database.appname.username= "Schemaname" dbi.database.appname.password="password" This is not good as its readable by shell users. Anyone with the above experience and able to encrypt/decrypt passwords in a non-text format ? Thanks in advance Prashant |
