Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-486:
----------------------------------------
I have been thinking about this and I think we may do better by providing an
(optional) encryption option for the exported configuration, using a passkey
provided by the user. That seems to meet all requirements and would avoid
changes to the connector API to support this feature.

>
> The "org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.ExportConfiguration" command class is
> exporting passwords, for instance to the configured Solr server (Solr Output
> Connector). This may be a security problem if the export file is
> version-controlled or placed on a public server.
> We should add an extra "no password" argument to the command class in order
> to skip such passwords.
