I've got an oracle connect string that I need to pass to a mod_python module. Currently I'm storing in httpd.conf, but I'm not crazy about that coz I'm storing the password in the connect string (format: name/passwd@dbname). Is there a general way to hide the password, or another place to put it besides httpd.conf? This is a non-financial app behind a firewall, so absolute security is not needed, but I would prefer something better than the plaintext passwd in httpd.conf. A pointer to an oracle-specific solution would be fine as well. Many TIA!
