[HELP] Password handling in ODBC connector #1996

@jbergmannAutomation

Description

@jbergmannAutomation

Currently, the ODBC connector requires database credentials (especially the password) to be stored in plain text in the config file. This poses a security risk in production environments.

Question / Feature Request:
Is there any existing or planned support for more secure credential handling in the ODBC connector? For example:

  • Using environment variables in the connection string
  • Referencing secrets from an external file or secrets manager
  • Any other method to avoid storing plain-text passwords in the config
