Hiding database connection strings from xml file
Hi ,
I have a configuration file with the following structure:
<CONFIG>
<DEFAULTS operator="oraread">
<PROPERTY name="hostname" value="myhostname"/>
<PROPERTY name="port" value="12343"/>
<PROPERTY name="dbname" value="dbname"/>
<PROPERTY name="connectstring" value="connectstring"/>
</DEFAULTS>
</CONFIG>

I read these parameters and pass hing to unix script that opens a sql connection based on the supplied parameters.
Now problem is that any user can read this file.
Is there a better way to hide these configuration parameters so that they can be acessed by specific programs(like setting them on the .profile)?

crm_verify

PACEMAKER(8)						  System Administration Utilities					      PACEMAKER(8)

NAME

       Pacemaker - Part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager

SYNOPSIS

       crm_verify [modifiers] data_source

DESCRIPTION

       crm_verify - Check a (complete) confiuration for syntax and common conceptual errors.

       Checks the well-formedness of an XML configuration, its conformance to the configured DTD/schema and for the presence of common misconfigu-
       rations.

       It reports two classes of problems, errors and warnings. Errors must be fixed before the cluster will work properly. However, it is left up
       to the administrator to decide if the warnings should also be fixed.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      This text

       -$, --version
	      Version information

       -V, --verbose
	      Increase debug output

   Data sources:
       -L, --live-check
	      Check the configuration used by the running cluster

       -x, --xml-file=value
	      Check the configuration in the named file

       -X, --xml-text=value
	      Check the configuration in the supplied string

       -p, --xml-pipe Check the configuration piped in via stdin

   Additional Options:
       -S, --save-xml=value
	      Save the verified XML to the named file.	Most useful with -L

EXAMPLES

       Check the consistency of the configuration in the running cluster:

	      # crm_verify --live-check

       Check the consistency of the configuration in a given file and produce verbose output:

	      # crm_verify --xml-file file.xml --verbose
