- Not that I'm aware of. You might try righting your own one-way function to encrypt the passwords. You might want to ask in sci.crypt (or something like that) for help with that.
- I can think of two ways:
- Enable operating system authenticated logins (if Oracle supports this on your OS). Then you can just put a / where the username/password would go on the command line.
- Create a dummy account that doesn't have rights to do anything. Then have your
application specify the username/password for this dummy account on the command line (example:
C:\ORAWIN\BIN\F45RUN.EXE C:\MYAPP\LOGIN.FMX dummy/secret ) You could then have whatever form
you are calling handle getting the password from the user and re-loging them.
