Peter, another patch to review please.
Enable white-space in parameters for external password command
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SECURITY-771
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-771
Project: PicketBox
Issue Type: Feature Request
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: JBossSX
Affects Versions: PicketBox_4_0_19.Final
Reporter: Ivo Studensky
Assignee: Peter Skopek
Attachments: SECURITY-771.patch
The current implementation of the loading the external password by a command uses
Runtime.exec() which denies to pass a parameter which contains a white-space to the
command, see {{\{EXT\}}} in org.jboss.security.Util#loadPassword(String).
It would be nice to provide a new implementation based on ProcessBuilder.
For example, various ssh-askpass implementations requires a parameter like 'Enter
passphrase for ...'. Without the ability to directly pass such a parameter customers
are pushed to create a "script in the middle" which makes their application
unnecessarily complicated.
