Password Configuration File

For improved security, store passwords in a password configuration file and then restrict read access to that file. Set the passwordFile parameter in your vbr configuration file to this file.

The password configuration file contains one [Passwords] section.

[Passwords]

All password configuration parameters are inside the file's [Passwords] section.

Parameter	Description
dbPassword	Database administrator's Vertica password, used if the dbPromptForPassword parameter is false. This parameter is ignored if dbUseLocalConnection is set to true.
dest_dbPassword	Password for the dest_dbuser Vertica account, for replication tasks only.
serviceAccessPass	Password for the rsync user account.
