[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - Using encrypted passwords in datasource config files directl

I am wondeirng if there's any alternative to encrypt datasource passwords? I have followed http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EncryptingDataSourcePasswords the link. However, my requirement is slightly variant. My requirement is to create the *-ds.xml with encrypted password quoted in the file itself. For example, the user-name and encrypted password are provided in the following config: | <datasources> | <local-tx-datasource> | .... | <user-name>myUser</user-name> | <password>my-encrypted-password</password> | ... | </local-tx-datasource> | </datasources> | I expect JBoss to read the encrypted password, decrypt it and then create the Datasource. BUT is this possible??? So, can we provide an encrypted password in the *-ds.xml file itself so it can be decrypted? Any pointers much appreciated Thanks /Madhu View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4034537#...
