Password File

[Suhas Jadhav]

Hi Gurus,

In my web2py application, i am connecting to two different databases.

Currently, I am saving username and password in the code.

I want to use a password file or some other mean. Can you please help.

If you're using private/appconfig.ini, you can put the passwords in the URI.

private/appconfig.ini should not be checked into source control, nor sent unsanitized to customers.

(The one "out of the box" with web2py should be considered a template;, which is okay check in or distribute.  The real appconfig.ini should only be backed up in a secure place.   The database credentials are a big reason for this, but appconfig.ini is entirely instance specific.)
