Mark Struberg commented on DELTASPIKE-382:
------------------------------------------
Denis, this all is hopefully stored in JNDI thus only maintained by system
administrators and only readable by the code on this box. And if someone
manages to execute code on your box, then you have much heavier problems than a
password.
This whole masking is to make sure we don't output some sensitive information
(might be other stuff than passwords as well) into some random log file which
might be read by many other users.

> Key: DELTASPIKE-382
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DELTASPIKE-382
> Project: DeltaSpike
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Configuration
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Mark Struberg
> Assignee: Mark Struberg
> Fix For: 0.5
>
>
> Our configuration mechanism currently logs all the configured values.
> This makes it hard to use it for passwords and stuff.
> I suggest we introduce some specific prefix property to configure configs
> which contain sensitive information.
> For the key 'some.random.password' this could look like:
> deltaspike_config.mask.some.random.password=true
> In the log we would in this case just output the information whether and
> where we did find some value, but not print the details for all configs which
> start with all of the configured masks.
> I'm not yet sure though how to configure this best. Suggestions appreciated!
