Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> hiding passwords on NT
We have a NT client program written in VB that uses a single user to connect to the database. The application does not prompt for a user or password. The user and password that is used for connection to the database is passed to the client program as parameters in t he application shortcut.
We would like to hide this user and password somewhere, rather than have it in the shortcut.
Any advice on the best way to do this?
OS authentication is not an option.
