Rust (the survival game) RCON password alternative

Question

So I have a webapp that manages my rust servers. I need to provide the rcon password in order to use rcon. But for that I need to store the password in my database.

Is there an alternative way to make a connection to rcon, like using OAuth tokens or anything that I'm not aware of? Without saving the password that is a major security issue.

@mousetail I'm looking for an alternative for rust game servers, not the programming language rust — dewey, Jun 07 '22 at 08:48

Rust Servers (The game) uses a websocket server for the rcon and does not support OAuth. So NO. There is no alternative method authenticating as the password is expected as a path in the websocket connection URL.

ws://ip:port/password
