[Building Sakai] where do sakai reads local.properties

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi

A better solution is to put your db properties in a file called security.properties, specify the path in the java opts and then lock down read access to that file. If you can decrypt it on the server, so could an intruder. 

This was discussed a few weeks ago on list. 

Cheers
Steve
