Hello, I'd like to protect the mysql password that is in settings.py
I read in the django docs that is possible to use SHA1 hashes as password for mysql and I've tried using mysql to salt and hash the password but still if I would have my project on a public svn|git repository anyone could just read sha1$salt$hash and reverse it. Is there any common practice to protect this password? For example to have it into an external file sources by the settings.py and use a svn or git ignore on it? Also, how do you generate the hash? via mysql? slappasswd? cracklibs? And how do you escape weird chars in the salt? I've tried to add sha1$mysaltnoweirdchars$hash and it gives me error on django release 1.1 Thank you very much for your time. fruity -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
