If I try to get some information about a data store using REST, the
 response contains encrypted data store passwords.

Some snippets, executing

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XGET
  http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/acme/datastores/nync.xml

results in
 ...
  <entry key="passwd">crypt1:pw5lO+WAt6nThMc1cywD3Q==</entry>
   <entry key="dbtype">postgis</entry>
...

Even worse, doing the same REST call again, the encrypted password is
different. (This is because we use a salt and the plain text password is
encrypted for each REST call).

IMHO, I would expect the plain text password, the cipher text is quite
useless.

Opinions ?

Cheers
Christian
