Where is ARCONFDIR specificed? In the arsystem script? Is it
available on all platforms?
Blowfish is a very commonly available encryption scheme that can be
used to store encrypted and decrypt value. What language are you
using to write the plugin? C or java?
For java:
http://mindrot.org/projects/jBCrypt/
For c:
http://bcrypt.sourceforge.net/
Both are available under the bsd license.
Thanks,

It would be much easier to be able to use the "Remedy Application
Service" account. The only information I need is admin account and
password since the plugin gonna access users logged into the system.
I think its better to use the ARONFDIR var, since the plugin gets
startet from the plugin daemon and the server can be startet by
init.d.
The need of encryption is because of customer requirement
