Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: password and dblink mgmt tool
Tony,
For storing passwords, I use Itanium's eWallet product. Not my choice, = but it is what I am stuck with. I export the wallet files to text and I = wrote a Perl module to read and tie the exported file into a hash. I = have written several programs (hoping to turn them into web services = soon) to retrieve passwords, set passwords (for db links, etc.).
To generate passwords, I use a combination of the 'mkpasswd' utility = (part of the distro for expect) and a Perl module to really randomize = the characters in the passwords.
Finally, I have an Oracle password verification function that makes an = extproc call out to the cracklib lib to verify password strength.
Our passwords expire every 90 days, and passwords can repeat once/year.

Subject: password and dblink mgmt tool
hi,
does anyone have a tool to manage schema passwords and dblinks?
For SOX all apps have to rotate their passwords every 6 months, which
means changing all their dblinks too.
Also, any time a clone to test or dev is done, all the passwords have to
change and all the
dblinks too.
thanks
tony
