Is it possible to encrypt the mysql password?

[Dexxa]

Hello out there,

we are using cacti for several years now and feel very comfortable with it.
But now we are getting problems with internal audit, because there is the clear text password of the database connection in the config.php file.

Is it possible to use an encrypted password?? What modifications are necessary to make this possible?

Thank you form your help!!

Depends on how complex you want to get. Honestly, if someone has access to see the config.php they should either be completely trusted, or you have bigger problems on your hands.

$database_password = base64_decode('U2VjdXJpdHlBdWRpdHNBcmVBV2FzdGVPZlRpbWU=');
