Our University would like to give out Zope accounts for
groups of students so they may experiment and work on
various projects. One key feature that people would like
to use is connectivity to a PostgreSQL database.

We take security very seriously and would like some way
around storing plaintext passwords in the connection
strings for the Psycopg Database Connectors. Has anyone
come up with some alternative to this or a solution to
this possible security hazard?
