How to store the passwords securely and use in scripts?
I want to store the passwords in a global file, so that all the users will not use them to login but a process should use it. One way is to keep the passwords in a .ini file and execute the file in the start of the script and use that variable.
But with this, one can echo the variable in the script and see the value.
How are you guys storing, let's say production database password, and use that in the script while writing the database connect statements.
