=== set_secret() ===
Shortcut method to create and set a password property on a record without having to extract the record first.
The password creation is based on an UID of 64 bits (Data::UUID). If the optional type option is passed, it will be used to create the record if it does not already exist. Otherwise, a default 'service’ type will be used to create the record.
The $DB is expected to be an already open esmith::DB object, so that an open DB in the caller can be re-used. Therefore in a migrate fragment you could just use $DB.
esmith::util::set_secret($DB, '$key','$property'[,type=>'$type']);
For example in /etc/e-smith/db/configuration/migrate/90roundcube
{
esmith::util::set_secret($DB, ’foo’,’DbPassword’,type=>’service’);
}
The password will be generated to the property ’DbPassword’ in the ’foo’ key.
If you want to change the database then you must open another esmith::DB objet
{
my $database = esmith::ConfigDB->open(’accounts’) or
die esmith::DB->error;
esmith::util::set_secret($database, ’foo’,’DbPassword’,type=>’user’);
}
The password is generated on an initialize-default-databases action
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/initialize-default-databases
