Hello, I've a scripts that allows limited manipulation of a database to users. This script of course needs to save a password for the database connection. The users, on the other hand need read permission on the script in order to execute it but should not be able to read out the password. What is the common way to solve this problem?
My current way is to allow the users to execute the script with sudo while not having read permission when acting as a ordinary user. But I don't like this solutions and consider it very ugly.
Thanks, Florian
Which DB? afaik postgre has user-level authentication which means you don't even need a password.
