Connection and password

["DUCRET Gilles (GVA)" <Gilles.DUCRET@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: Connection and password

I have an annoying specification.

I have a server written in java, running on the as400. This serveur must access the database. Nobody is logged
to this server, it just receives queries from a batch process and do its job.

I access the DB using JDBC.

The spec i have is: the operators want to automate the processes and so they don't want to manage any password.

+ the password can not be stored in a property file, even encoded.

What can i do to access the DB. With websphere i could use a datasource managed by websphere. I do not use websphere
in this case.

Can i use a special profil, with no password. I have tried, but the JDBC connection always asked me to give a password.
Can i use this kind of "system" profile, the kind we use for MQSeries. No password is requested in this case.

I don't know how to solve that

Many thanks
