[Apiman-user] Login failure message shows password in the clear
I'm setting up a new gateway in apiman. I put in the wrong password for the
configuration endpoint credentials, and this is what I got on the "New Gateway"
screen:
Gateway Configuration Invalid
Something has gone wrong when testing the Gateway. Hopefully the details (below) will help
you figure out what.
{"data":"<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>Unauthorized</body></html>","status":401,"config":{"method":"PUT","transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"data":{"name":"The
Gateway","description":"Gateway to back-end
services","configuration":"{\"endpoint\":\"https://[GATEWAY_URI]/apiman-gateway-api/\",\"username\":\"apimanager\",\"password\":\"api-manager$65454\"}","type":"REST"},"url":"https://[APIMAN_URI]/apiman/gateways","headers":{"Accept":"application/json,
text/plain,
*/*","Content-Type":"application/json;charset=utf-8","Authorization":"Bearer
[TOKEN]"}},"statusText":"Unauthorized"}
Granted that only a mistaken password is shown, this still doesn't seem secure, and
also makes me wonder if the credential may be exposed in other similar places. Should I
raise an issue on this?
