Soo.. since i couldn't really find answers so far:

Is there a way to share QGIS-project files that contain *encrypted* database connections? (Maybe storing them in the PG-DB..?)

..and/or to share the authentication database between clients so that the user doesn't have to pick/remember a password.

Is there maybe even a comparable thing to Esri SDE-files?

I worked quite a bit with QGIS a few years ago but these aspects of deploying it to multiple client PCs are quite unclear to me, so far.🙆‍♂️

@Hadeur that sounds like a bad idea. Different users should have distinct credentials so you can tell who did what to your database.

@ianturton That's how my colleagues did it for the main deployment, but that's a whole other can of worms.😬

In my case, qgis only holds a copy of the objects for visual representation, changes in the main database can be tracked (geometry is stored as WKT). Right now the system is Software1 + ArcGIS EGDB and we switch to QGIS so that influences my thinking.
