Hi,

Earlier encrypted password text of the user provided repo password is sent
with the ArtifactUpdate event. The cartridge agent decrypt the text with
the key sent with payload.
However with grouping since there are no subscriptions, encrypted text can
not be sent in the event  by SM.  Possible solutions are,

1) Send the encrypted text in payload
Now the encrypted text and key both in the same place which is not safe.

2) Publish encrypted text to metadata service
AS published the encrypted text to the metadata service at the time of
application parsing. Cartridge instance get the text from metadata service.
This has the overhead of publishing to metadata service and retrieving from
it.

WDYT?
