Jenkins and TeamCity continuous build servers support something simillar.
The encrypted variables can be accessed as environment variables.  If there
is a user interface to edit service checks that is shared, misc people in
different roles can use the password as a variable but not be able to see
it easily.  Jenkins and TeamCity search stdout and stderr for the decrypted
password and replace it so logs or performance data do not reveal it.  It
is not perfect in that a service check could write the decrypted data to a
file or send it across the network.
