How to hide username/password in JDBC program.

hi All,
The support tat I get here is simply gr8.
Can someone suggest or send me a link as to how I hide the username /password ....i.e database connection in the jdbc program so as to avoid changing the program everywhere in case username and passwd changes ?????
I simply want to change the following code
String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
Class.forName(driverName).newInstance();
// Create a connection to the database
Sring serverName = "127.0.0.1";
String portNumber = "1521";
String sid = "oratest";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
String username = "scott";
String password = "tiger";
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
Ta,
sunny

well i kind of support what my fellow poster neeelima.srtidhar said..
Use of Connection Pooling via JNDI which is either provided by appln server or using custom built frameworks is the best method which i can think of instead of reinventing the wheel by creating a Properties file and then writing a Utility Class which ultimately endup in creating connection Object without any sort of optimal usage.
checkout the below articles for reference of how to do it.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html

http://www.castor.org/jdo-pooling.html
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~slink/java/DBPool/
and if you are thinking of reinventing those that could be possible using the below article

Hope that might help:)

I think you should give a username and password. How can it look up a password without a username? Better GRANT the right permissions, too.
Read the MySQL docs a bit more closely. Your path isn't the way to go.

How to pass username/password through WebService proxy client to E-BS.

Hi
We are using ADF Webservice proxy client to integrate E-Business suite with ADF. It asks for username/password to access details from E-BS. In the generated webservice XSD file, a method is available with 2 parameters.
1) SOAP header( Contains Username, responsibility and 2 more fields)
2) Class object(Nested Object)
However i didn't find "*Password*" field anywhere in it. Then how can I pass "*Password*" along with username to invoke this method?
When i checked SOAP, the password is defined like this
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">XXXX</wsse:Password>a
Thanks
Raja

hi Dario
Thank you for your post. It is really helpful. Now I got stuck with a doubt, in this piece of code
final Binding binding = ((BindingProvider) servicePort).getBinding();
List<Handler> handlerList = binding.getHandlerChain();
if (handlerList == null)
handlerList = new ArrayList<Handler>();
They didn't mention properly about "*servicePort*". What object is this?
I checked in Oracle document, even in that I was not clear with that piece of code.
public class HandlerWS{
@Resource WebServiceContext ctx;
@WebMethod()
public String getProperty(String propertyName) {
return (String) ctx.getMessageContext().get(propertyName);
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
HandlerWS test;
try {
test = new HandlerWS(new URL(args[0] + "?WSDL"), new
QName("http://example.org", "HandlerWS") );
} catch (MalformedURLException murl) { throw new RuntimeException(murl); }
HandlerWSPortType port = test.*getHandlerWSPortTypePort*();
What is this HandlerWSPortType object???. Can you give me little more explanation about it?
Thanks

How to supply username/password and hostname when calling a web service

The Workshop Help contains a chapter named "To Use the Java Proxy in a Separate Java Application". It includes the following code:
public class Main
public static void main(String[] args)
try
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl();
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
System.out.println(soapProxy.Hello());
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Questions:
1. How is the username and password supplied in case the Hello World web service is secured?
(I have not found any Javadoc for weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.ServiceImpl, but from the code assist I see a constructor taking two Strings....)
2. Is there a way to supply a hostname, and port, in case the Hello World web service exists on more than one host?

If I need to specify the wsdl url it fails as wsdl it self is protected. How do I pass in the userId/password while getting the wsdl.
E.g:
/*Line below fails as userId/password is not passed.*/
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl(wsdlLocation);
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap("username", "passwd");
System.out.println(soapProxy.Hello());

Hide username&password in SCP

Hi all, suppose we have to configure automatic backup
Router(config)#archive
Router(config-archive)#path scp://username:password@hostname
Router(config-archive)#write memory
Is there any way to hide username and password in config?

Not sure there is a way to do this as the router is being the client in this scenario. If you can make it the server, then there are some options:

Beyond that thread, I gave a presentation at Kaleidoscope last year around MaxL that goes into quite a bit of depth re encryption and a whole bunch of other MaxL goodies.
To download it, go to www.odtug.com, click on Tech Resources, Essbase/Hyperion, and use the search box for MaxL.
There are two presentations, one by Tracy McMullen and the other by me. Tracy's is a good introduction to the various command groups; my presentation focused on a few areas in depth, one of which was encryption. The title is "Master Essbase with MaxL Automation".
You will need to join ODTUG to download the presentation, but there is a junior membership that is free.

Cameron Lackpour
P.S. ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2010 is coming up in two weeks, starting on 27 June 2010 -- for those of you still on the fence, it is an awesome conference and I urge you all to come. The content this year will be fantastic.

How to hide the password in .class file?

Hi All,
I try to use a Connect.java file to connect to MySQL. The URL is similar to the following:
"jdbc:mysql://192.168.1.1/database?user=name&password=123456"
When I compile the .java file to a .class file, I can still see the full URL line in the machine codes of the Connect.class file.
How to avoid exposing the password in the line?
Thank you.
Anthony Pong

1) Use obfuscate option in your Java compiler
2) There is Jakarta tool BCEL - which can be used for
obfuscation, etcObfuscation tools don't obfuscate single literal string contents, which is the problem here.
You'll have to make sure that your string doesn't appear as a single string anywhere. One technique is to break up your password into pieces, and scatter the declarations around, and join them up in the code to construct your password.
(Oh yeah, and don't call your variables "static private final String passwordPiece1="foo";" either :-), or use an obfuscation tool to hide these variable names).

Can I pass username & password in JDBC URL in Crystal Reports 2008?

Hi,
I tried to put this URL in the CRConfig.xml file : jdbc:postgresql://hostname:5432/db_name?user=user_name&password=pw
Without the user and password parameters, it works fine but I always have to enter the database information when I create a new report or refresh an existing report.
With the parameters, when I create a new report, if I click on "Create new connection", Crystal Reports freezes. If I click on the connection in "My connections", then I get an "Invalid argument" error message.
How can I configure the database information so that I don't always need to enter it manually?
Thanks,
Marianne

Hi Marianne,
We don't recommended you do that. The text is in the clear so anyone could use your log on info. You may be able to add your user name to the Report by editing the connection properties from the Set Location dialog box but to add your password would give anyone who opened your report your log on info.
And the info would be passed to the DB over the network in the clear so someone could hack your info.
Thank you
Don

How to hide username?

Hi, I'd like to hide my username, that is, the name I use to log in to Skype from some or all of my contacts, I stupidly made my username contain my real name which is very unique and I don't want some people I contact to know this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, Tony1030, and welcome to the Community,
A Skype user name is public information ... and Skype does not permit a user name to be changed/edited once it is created.
You could create a new account and abandon the one you no longer wish to use. This would mean, of course, having to add all of your contacts into your new account. More information here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'

Elaine
