The connection routing tutorial is a combination of the two different connection routing tutorials. This should reduce the maintenance burden by a significant amount.

# Encrypting Passwords
|
|
|
|
There are two options for representing the password, either plain text or
|
|
encrypted passwords may be used. In order to use encrypted passwords a set of
|
|
keys must be generated that will be used by the encryption and decryption
|
|
process. To generate the keys use the `maxkeys` command and pass the name of the
|
|
secrets file in which the keys are stored.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
maxkeys /var/lib/maxscale/.secrets
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the keys have been created the `maxpasswd` command can be used to generate
|
|
the encrypted password.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
maxpasswd plainpassword
|
|
96F99AA1315BDC3604B006F427DD9484
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The username and password, either encrypted or plain text, are stored in the
|
|
service section using the `user` and `password` parameters.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example configuration that uses an encrypted password.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[My-Service]
|
|
type=service
|
|
router=readconnroute
|
|
router_options=master
|
|
servers=dbserv1, dbserv2, dbserv3
|
|
user=maxscale
|
|
password=96F99AA1315BDC3604B006F427DD9484
|
|
```
