Hi,
We currently have several vb apps that connect to oracle through a called
routine. This routine has the password hardcoded to allow the connection. Our
front-line users do not have access to the password to our production region,
but obviously our vb developers can figure it out. How do you handle this
situation? I find it hard to believe that there is not a way to encrypt the
password so that the developer can not view it. If there is a 3rd party tool,
how do you handle preventing a developer from from the application in a shell
vb app to display the password? I appreciate any info that is provided. Note:
I am a dba and have never developed a vb app, therefore there may be an obvious
answer that I am unaware of.
