Password protection

edited Mar 30, 2010 6:34AM in SQL*Plus (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered
 When starting sqlplus (IBM AIX 5.3.x flavor, Oracle version 10.2.0.4) , you can enter the username /password. The password is in plaintext and is written to a system log in plain text. This is a DOD security violation. Is there an option in sqlplus where the password cannot be entered on the command line along with the username but forces sqlplus to prompt the user for the password thereby not showing up in the system log file as plain text.

Thanks,
