[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-21716) Don't re-prompt for password

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21716?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13169719#comment-13169719 ] 

Pete Muir commented on JBIDE-21716:
-----------------------------------

An environment variable which is set per session (as opposed to written to disk e.g. in to your bash .profile or .bashrc) is pretty secure, as once the session ends the password is removed. This is really not very different from storing the password in a field or variable inside your program.

It's not ideal, and long term we should write a vagrant plugin that can handle this better, but for now...

> Having installed JBDS and CDK from the installer, and entered your password there, you get re-prompted for your password for the customer portal. This is a poor user experience.
