I can read the Postgres server username and password inside the openerp-server.conf file, how to hide/encrypt the Postgres password?

Removing/changing the values will prevent openerp server from connecting to postgresql database server.

You can't BUT you can make it secure.

  1. Use an user just for openerp not a general admin of postgresql

  2. Adjust the permisions of the file:

    chmod 600 openerp-server.conf

You should change your PostgreSQL Server configuration.

If you run the OpenERP server with a openerp user make sure the pg_hba.conf file has a setting telling the postgresql server to use peer or ident authentication and not MD5.

If this is the case you are able to just put the db_user=openerp in your OpenERP server config file and it will no longer be needed to put the password in the config file.

In my openerp-server.conf, there is only written admin_passwd in plain text, but not the password for postgres database user, although my psql authentication mode in pg_hba.conf file is set to MD5...
