in thread Secure ways to use DBI?
Ah I see.
My script (an LWP Perl script) that calls the ssh to get a password from the DB,
does not reside on the web server and is not used by a web server in anyway.
But this script does need to use a password to connect to a https webpages that requires a user/password.
The machine the script resides on (M1) is seperated from the DB server with a firewall (FW1) and
seperated from the "outside world" with another firewall (FW2).
I think this set up is pretty secure. Here's where I expose my ignorance of
firewalls. FW1 only allows ssh and scp from M1 and FW2 only allows http and https to
pass through.
Does that make any sense?
