> Key: AMBARI-12634
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12634
> Project: Ambari
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ambari-server
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: Yu Gao
> Labels: security
>
> HTML password type hides passwords with **** on the service Configs page.
> However, everyone including non-admin users who has ambari access with
> READ-ONLY permission can see the real content of the passwords through
> developer tools, like firebug in firefox. For example, the database passwords
> for oozie/hive and master secret for knox are exposed in this way.
