Hi Guillaume, How do you handle passwords for your customer databases? do you have a look up list - be it a file, database .. ?
For example if a sub-domain hits the server, how are db credentials gatherd/defined? We can determine username from subdomain part but what about passwords? I just ask as I am thinking about the best approach to take. Thanks for any advice.
