MySQL DB password in config.ini

[Dominion]

Hello,
I've just finished migration to new server, restored everything from backups fine. But, I found that my login and password in config.ini are stored in plane text. Could you please direct me how to fix it and to put hashed password there.

Hi,
There is no such an ability. But don't bother with it. This file is available locally.

If we hashed the password we would need to store the key in the file. This negates the benefit of hashing.

Ok, guys, please, to be clear: is it Ok, by design, to store the DB login and password in config.ini in plain text, or I have just messed something up?

[yuri]

Yes. It's OK.

Just make sure the file is not accessible (it should not unless you misconfigured your server).

Thanks!
