org.jboss.security.plugins.FilePassword requires write permission for decoding ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: SECURITY-292 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SECURITY-292 Project: JBoss Security and Identity Management Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.0.2.CR8, 2.0.2.CR7, 2.0.2.CR6, 2.0.2.CR5, 2.0.2.CR4, 2.0.2.CR3, 2.0.2.CR2, 2.0.2.CR1, 2.0.2.Beta7, 2.0.2-BETA6, 2.0.2-BETA5, 2.0.2-BETA4, 2.0.2-BETA3, 2.0.1-BETA2, 2.0.1-BETA1, 2.0.2-BETA, 2.0.1.GA Environment: JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA Reporter: Alan Feng Assignee: Anil Saldhana Priority: Minor We use org.jboss.security.plugins.FilePassword to avoid storing passwords in clear text. Once created, we'd like to change the file's permission to read-only for regular users in order to ensure that only trusted users can update it. However, this won't work as the class FilePassword always requires write permission even for decoding the password. The class should be modified so that write permission is only required when create / update the password file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
