User credentials in config file

Christian5 years ago

Hi,
I think its not the best idea to store the user credentials of the database in the config file. Are there other possibilities to store those sensitive content?

Best regards,
Christian

Why not. Who will find them and for what purpose

Christian, if you worry about database security, make sure you create a database user that only has access to traccar database. Also, limit access to only local.

As for the original concern, if someone has access to the filesystem, then they also have access to the database as well.
