Encryp user and password on Database connections
We want to create a gold image for install ReadyAPI on several VMs and we want to configure them with Database connections, but the user/password must be encrypted. How to do it?

- You may try using property expansion in the database configuration and externalisé the values in a property file. When a user wants to connect to db, he/she can load the property file with credentials of their own.
This way no need to put your credentials in the project. And if some is pushing the project changes such new tests, then they can clean the property values of the db credentials And push the changes.
Does it help?It doesn't work that way if the user loads the properties file the values will be exposed. We need to encrypt the passwords like the dragonfly plugin for HP-ALM does
thank you
- I believe the credentials are your own, not others.
Any way, even if you use encrypted password, it has to be decrypted before database authentication.
