Disallow the show connection-password-function when starting in proteced-mode
Hi!
When I start the portable-edition in protected mode, anyone can view the connection-properties and view password. Is it possible to deactivate the "show password"-funtion, when proteced-mode is used?
(Protected-Mode = Disallow the show connection-password-function when started portable-edition in admin-mode)
Have many thanks in advance!
Regards
Mat
Hello, Mat.
We've implemented your suggestion. Users now can't view stored passwords in the protected mode.
Users in protected mode still can edit connection properties if they have administrator rights. Anyway, all connection parameters are stored in the plain text .ini file and they can read this file using an ordinary text editor. The password is encrypted there, but the rest of the properties are readable, so there's nothing to hide.
