Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Hiding passwords
You can try creating a password table that stores encrypted passwords, then
use a simple procedure that uses the encryption routine in the Obfusication
Toolkit to get and set the password.
Or you can make the database userid to be identified externally, so no
passsword is needed.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
So the story goes like this. We're a NT/W2K shop. We have various scripts
that run DB related jobs but these are in plain text and we'd like to
"hide"
these passwords in some way to allow scripts to run but the passwords not
be
"visible" to potential prying eyes. Has anyone cracked this one yet. I've
had a trawl around MetaLink but found nothing of substance.
