Okay - seems to be a known issue as being addressed in HDFS-6694.
This patch is fine.

> As part of HADOOP-10904, DFSUtil should be changed to leverage the new method
> on Configuration for acquiring known passwords for SSL. The getPassword
> method will leverage the credential provider API and/or fallback to the clear
> text value stored in ssl-server.xml.
> This will provide an alternative to clear text passwords on disk while
> maintaining backward compatibility for this behavior.
