Re: Command-Line syntax for Connectivity -Reply

[Wes Williams <wwilliams@MAIL.RKD.SNDS.COM>]

I use VB to launch sqr.
command line
x = Shell("r:\woclose\sqrwt.exe t:\sqr3\woclosit maximo/maximo/pwd -fC:\spl\", 1)

The SQR writes to a file when the process is complete so my VB app knows that it has finished. The VB code is very simple.


Hope this helps

Yes, everyone with access to the logs will be able to read passwords.

I need to spawn multiple sqr programs - 50 to 100 child programs -hence the
need for complete command lines.

This is a gaping security hole. The only way around it I can think of is to
put some kind of front end together with VB or something?

Any other ideas for hiding passwords?

    However, if I'm not mistaken, everyone with access to the logs will be
able to read your password.  If you enter Username@DBInstance, you will be
prompted for your password, and others will not be able to read it.
