DB2 Connect Encrypt Password
Hi All,
If someone can help me with password encryption. We have shell scripts that connect to a database using db2 connect and we have the password hardcoded in the script.
Can someone let me know if there's a way to encrypt this password?
I've seen alot of users suggest we create an environmental variable in another file with very limited rights but unfortunately we are not the root users on this box and the root users will still have access to that box.
Thanks
