Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am reading my userid , pwd from a
file with 400 permissions to connect to the external oracle
application.  Now my requirement is that i should not use the
plain text pwd present in the file . I should use some encrypted
pwd to connect. How i can do this ?  share|improve this question

an Oracle wallet so that you don't need to embed the username
and password in your application at all. Depending on the
architecture of your application, there may be other options as
well-- if you're building a Java application that is deployed to
an application server, for example, most application servers
have a way to configure connection pools such that only the
encrypted password is stored in a configuration file.
