Secure the Database Password

This section applies only to a VoiceConsole On Prem deployment.

Regardless of the database used, the installation program stores the database.properties file in the target installation folder. This file includes the database password and username that the application uses to log into the database (unless you are using SQL Server with NT Authentication). To protect the database user, database passwords in this file are encrypted. However, this file is a plain text file that can be read by any text editor. Therefore, if you want to secure this file, follow the appropriate steps to secure it with Windows or Linux file permissions, depending on the operating system that you are using.
