How to mask/hide password from being passed with utl_http.set_authentication

user570076Nov 20 2014 — edited Nov 23 2014

Hi Experts,

DB version is 11.2.

I am invoking a external web service from plsql which requires authentication.I can invoke this using utl_http.set_authentication and pass the credentials. But i do not want to pass the same from the code. Is there any other recommended way of doing this from security stand point? Please advice..

I want to keep the credentials away from the code or application, so that developers should never get exposed to these sensitive data.

Thx

Selva.
