Hi,


I got following problem I want to use encrypted password and login for my script for oracle DB.

Code:

  #This was created with  echo "login" | openssl enc -base64  and  echo "password" | openssl enc -base64
  login= bG9naW4K
  passwd= cGFzc3dvcmQK

Im using following syntax :

Code:

  login= bG9naW4K
  passwd= cGFzc3dvcmQK

Code:

  login_d=`echo $login| openssl enc –base64 -d`
  passwd_d=`echo $passwd | openssl enc –base64 -d`

when I perform following commnads :

Code:

  echo -n $ login_d 
  echo –n $passwd_d

it seems to be identical but when I launch

Code:

  con_string=“${login_d}/${passwd_d}@${mydb}“
  select =${/my_select.sql}
   
  sqlplus –s ${con_string} @${select}

it returns: invalid username/password; logon denied

any idea where might be a problem ? maybe there are some invisible chars or something or any idea how to fix it ?

The idea is to not have password and login in text form but encrypted with openssl.
