I am currently developing an application which is displaying data retrieved 
from a database. For that purpose I am using a dedicated unique database user 
account . 
I would like to store the database connection information (host, database 
name, user name, password) in an application configuration file which should 
not be accessible to everybody. The idea is to have the information outside 
the compiled code so it can be easily updated it if necessary, but protected.

This configuration would be application internal (not accessible to the end 
users like with KConfig).

Does anyone know how to do this?
