I have shell scripts that use VSQL command with user Id and password in plain text. I have to hide the user id, password and database name specified in the script. Is there a way in Vertica to accomplish this? Oracle has a password wallet that can be defined to hide this information. Is there a similar method in Vertica?
Thanks

Re: Hide vsql password
Hi,
Maybe the VSQL_USER, VSQL_PASSWORD and VSQL_DATABASE environment variable could help?
Refer to:
http://my.vertica.com/docs/7.1.x/HTML/i ... sql|_____8
You can set these variables in the user's .bashrc, .bash_profile or .profile, depending on your requirements.

Re: Hide vsql password
Hi,
I just have one doubt. VSQL_USER, VSQL_PASSWORD and VSQL_DATABASE are environment variables right? How do we use it for multiple users? For eg, in Oracle we can create wallet for each user and use them in scripts. Is there a way to achieve the same in Vertica?
