Well, I didnt particularly like to hardcode it this way, but I looked 
at the rest of  the test harness ( see encryptionProtocol  in RunTest 
and the bootPassword is hardcoded to Thursday) and I followed the 
same approach for MultiTest.

This issue about reading the bootPassword as a property  (ie 
testDataEncryption) seems to be an improvement to the test harness 
and I think it is not related to this fix in general which was why I 
chose not to make changes to the test harness.

But if you feel strongly otherwise please let me know.

If you agree, I will file a jira entry for this.
Thanks,
Sunitha.

Thanks for the explanation,  please file a jira entry. Hard coding 
passwords in the harness code will make it difficult  to
to add  a new test cases  with  different password lengths ..etc.
