Hide APPS password in OS script

[VinodN]

Hi Erman,

In our production env, there are some custom shell scripts which run the CONCSUB command to submit different concurrent requests. At present, the APPS password is hard coded in them. Which are the best ways to get over this problem?

Write a wrapper that calls Conscub, and in that wrapper use some encryption/hiding method to hide the apps password..

For instance; you can use a separate configuration file for storing the password -- a file with restricted access permissions.. You can even store the password in an encrypted manner in that file, and you can decrypt it on-the-file while calling the Conscub from your wrapper.

There are lots of documents and discussions about how you can do this..  You can check the web (for instance: stack overflow)
