- Provide a test case in tests/backends/oracle/tests.py
- Provide the most naive fix that could work in django/db/backends/oracle/base.py
- Provide unit test that creates a wrapper object for password, Validate failing test with custom oracle settings file (not committed) - Provide simplest possible fix to Oracle backend.

Is this Oracle only issue or is the issue same with all backends? |

This ticket is WONTFIX |
It looks like from the backend code that it would also have been an issue with PostgreSQL, at least for us. The internal password server is in the process of being lifted-and-shifted to the cloud. I really want to avoid depending on this in the cloud. See https://pypi.org/project/confsecrets/ for the beginnings of an attempt to grow a solution past the password server. Abstractly, were I to complete making that module support as backends also S3, Google Cloud Storage, AWS EC2 Secrets manager, and HashiCorp vault, my employer's home grown version would still provide more management of the passwords. Another interesting thing is to think about Spring config server, relative to Django's settings. |
