I have a list of hashes:
@LoH = ( { database => 'PQxxxxLD', hostname => 'wpx0z051xsi.xxxx.com', servicename => 'pqospxxxbld.xxxx.com', port => '9010', username => 'username', password => 'password', } env => 'prod', )
This data is stored in a Perl module. There will be perhaps 100 databases. The program is run vi a cron file and there is no user action so the vulnerablity is only through the info stored in the program code. I'm thinking of having two columns in a protected table where one column is the plain-text key and the other column is the actual password

In reply to Re^2: encrypt passwords by fionbarr
in thread encrypt passwords by fionbarr
