Donald Woods commented on OPENJPA-1089:
---------------------------------------
We have a similar feature in Apache Geronimo for our config.xml and deployment
plans. The only downside of adding this to OpenJPA, is we would then have to
follow the ASF Cryptography release guidelines at -
http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html
since we would be using encryption/decryption (even if provided by the JVM).
Not a biggie, but adds a few steps to the release process...
> Provide for password encryption within persistence.xml

> Key: OPENJPA-1089
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1089
> Project: OpenJPA
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: jpa
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Kevin Sutter
>
> A recent discussion on our users forum [1] has surfaced (again) the need to
> encrypt the password fields in the persistence.xml. In the particular
> scenario outlined in the posting, this user wanted to encrypt the password
> sent into Apache DBCP via the url string. In my mind, that's a separate
> problem related to DBCP.
> But, OpenJPA has openjpa.Connection*Password properties that could be
> encrypted. And, the new JPA 2 spec outlines a
> javax.persistence.jdbc.password property that would be nice to encrypt.
> I'm opening this Issue as a Feature request, but it could also be considered
> a bug since a non-jndi environment is crippled from a security standpoint.
