Richard J. Barbalace updated SHIRO-445:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: mypatch.txt
Here is my patch to add a new package for configuring shadow INI files to
secure passwords.
This is a large patch with 6 new classes, so I recommend a thorough review.
The classes and the package-info.java file have extensive JavaDocs and
comments. I have already spent 3 days working on this patch, and can
contribute more time as needed.
I have not yet developed unit tests for these classes, although I did extensive
manual end-to-end testing with my web application. As I have time to review
how Shiro is doing unit testing, I will look into developing unit tests as well.
> Mechanism needed to secure passwords in shiro.ini

> Affects Versions: 1.2.2
> Environment: Any.

> There should be a mechanism to secure passwords stored in shiro.ini for
> accessing databases or other data sources, as described in this Shiro user
> forum post:
> http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/How-to-secure-database-password-in-shiro-ini-td7578763.html
> A flexible and extensible approach should allow for passwords to be stored in
> other INI or properties files, JNDI resources, databases, key stores, key
> servers, or other data sources. Passwords might be encrypted using a master
> key, which could likewise be stored in various data sources.
> I already have an initial patch prepared that allows for passwords to be
> stored (plaintext or encrypted with a master key) in other INI files, similar
> to a shadow password file. This can be further extended to use other data
> sources as needs arise.
