pilmunaknu5 years ago

i won't my password in plaintext in this entry in traccar.xml:

   <entry key='mail.smtp.password'>password</entry>

Please how i can fix that? I have tried with gpg: gpg --quiet --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty --decrypt file.gpg
But it don't working. I have also msmtprc installed on my server and it works with other services as webmin, but traccar dont support msmtprc. Help.

What are the alternative options? It's fairly common practice to use passwords to other services in a config file. How does encrypting password help with safety? Where would the encryption key be stored?
