Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8897:
-----------------------------------
For the problem of revealing passwords in solr.in.sh, would it help to point to
an external file for retrieving the SSL passwords? e.g.
{{SOLR_SSL_CONFIGFILE=/var/secret/ssl-passwords.txt}}?
I'm not sure if we can avoid passing the passwords to Jetty using sysprops.
However, we can avoid passwords being exposed in the Admin UI "Args" section by
showing {{*****}} instead of password? Probably need to be done on REST API
level?
