Created attachment 10430 [details] Patch that adds new options to the command line installer The command-line installer has a dbpassfile option, which can be used to avoid specifying the password for the database user in plaintext on the command line, as one would do with the dbpass option. It would be nice if there were a way to do that for the pass and installdbpass options as well. I've attached a patch against the current git master that does this. I'm running a similar modification on 1.18.2 at my site to get this functionality.
This enhancement is related to #26911.
