Hello,

What is the best way to protect my database password ?

Im using linux - apache2 -Gesior 2012
 
1. Disable root database account access from outside localhost.
2. Make sure the account used for the OT server only has minimal access rights.
3. Make sure OT server account passwords are SHA1 hashed.
4. Always use long (16 characters minimum) passwords that includes lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and ASCII symbols (!@#$%^&* etc). For example: Correct.Horse.Battery.Stapler!6033
5. Unless the MySQL server is hosted on a remote machine, or you access the MySQL server from a remote machine, block port 3306.
6. Don't use web-based database management tools like PhpMyAdmin. Use database management software installed on localhost, such as MySQL :: Download MySQL Workbench
7. If you use web-based OT server account management, make sure it's secure and doesn't have any backdoors or security flaws.
