Saved password

[presidente74]

I would to configure OpenVPN client to connect by saved password in a text file.
I would to do so for password of the proxy too.
The question: is possible to cipher the password in order to avoid to save clear-text password in the file?

Thanks anyway.

Hash the user password.
Then use hash as password for user.

Thanks Pippin,
but... the other side of VPN will recognize the password or it want a clear-text password?

I think so too.
My device is securized (secure at 100% don't exists!!) but i hate saved clear-text passwords.

Oh, I understood only now!!
Hash will be the clear-text password, is it??
May be a solution or, at least, a good workaround.
Thanks!
