Kevan Miller commented on GERONIMO-1135:
----------------------------------------

Matt, the "properties" are properties as in java.lang.System.getProperties(). 
Encryption isn't really the issue. At present, any deployed app could retrieve 
these password properties. It's very easy to keep these passwords out of the 
System properties. You can pass these properties in directly to the Factories, 
rather than setting them as properties. I'll try to have a look at this later 
today...

> Keystore password in System.properties
