scrutinize Security
scrutinize
supports password handling in the following ways:
- The
--password
(-P
) option sets the database password as an argument to thescrutinize
command.Omitting this argument on a password-protected database returns a warning. Enclose the password with single quotes to protect passwords with special characters.
For example:
$ scrutinize -P '@passWord**'
$ scrutinize --password='$password1*'Use this option if the administrator account (default dbadmin) has password authentication.
- The
--prompt-password
(-W
) option invokes a DB Password prompt at the command line, where users must enter their database password.
- Support for VSQL_PASSWORD
