Hi,
To make it a bit easier to remember, I added two options to the CLI
for 2.1: --enc-master-passwd and --enc-passwd; which are equivalent
to -m and -p on DefaultSecDispatcher.
For consistency with other options, it takes the password as an
option on the CLI rather than delegating to the DSD prompting.
Afterwards it terminates (like -v).
What do others think - is this the best way to configure it?
To reply to self - after talking to Benjamin and also reading the docs
I saw there was some plan to use a plugin to generate these. This
would also be useful for more general uses of the encryption, but the
reason I chose the CLI here is that you might need the passwords to
get the plugin in the first place, so this is more convenient for a
typical setup use case.
I have a problem with this alteration: as this CLI is a temporary
measure - I'd rather not have too many efforts to change that: -m and -p
are a clear indication that it's temporary.
If you start adding more stuff around temporary solutions, people expect
them supported in the future. Please remove them - the plugin wil take
care of the users long term.
Another one: "enc" is usually used for encoding, so it's at least
misleading.
Thanks,
Oleg

Brett
