Frex, If the PW is going to exist in the flat file in an encrypted fashion, then you WILL need to make changes to your java code to decrypt it before it is used in the API. There isn't going to be any way to change the storage of the password without changing the program to accommodate that change.

We have a set of Java API programs which connect to an ARS server and create some forms data. These scripts read a password from a flat file among other stuff (for easy maintenance so to say). So without making any changes to any of the Java code, is there an option of encrypting the password which the java could still read and pass to the API call which established the remedy connection? There are two places where I see the password references in every java script. remedypassword = prop.getproperty("remedypass"); setpassword(remedypassword); This by the way is a 7.1 server running on a Sun Solaris 5.10 and an Oracle 10. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. frex _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
