To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/826132#826132 -------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the jboss-cli-client.jar on my jenkins machine to remotely deploy whatever jenkins has built. The communication on port 9443 is ssl-encrypted and authenticated with self-signed certificates on both ends. Standalone.xml provides the ${VAULT::...} mechanism to encrypt the passwords for the keystore and truststore. On the client side this ssl configuration is stored in jboss-cli.xml but from looking at the schema https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/build/src/main/resources/d... https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/master/build/src/main/resources/d... I don't see any similar mechanism to encrypt my keystore and truststore passwords. (no <vault> element). So how can I avoid plain text passwords in the jboss-cli.xml? I tried to not specify <keyStorePassword> and <trustStorePassword> and use the system properties -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=Gdesefwe and -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=Tr3waqEq described here http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSER... http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSER... but this only leads to a null pointer exception (not specifiying the tags) or an "invalid password" error (empty tags), so they don't seem to be honored. Even if they work I would have to specify them as shell environment variables since the command line arguments can be seen by anyone who is allowed to use ps. I thought I can somehow hide the keystore/truststore passwords using the jenkins "Mask Passwords" plugin. But how? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/826132#826132] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
