Prevent Tampering of Credentials file #1

Open listrophy opened 13 years ago

Goal: Prevent tampering of the credentials file.

Possible solutions will likely include some sort of signing and/or PKI infrastructure. Preferably, it'd be a peer-to-peer key infrastructure.

On our most recent project, with the xls files, we created a repo on the gitolite server to store a password file and encrypted the file with Vim. One downside is that the file is then binary and can't be diffed. Minor pet peeve to be considered. Diffing would be especially helpful in the event that we need to go through and change credentials en masse.
