Thanks for this hint.
I've the following questions:
* When you say 'hide' do you mean replacing the content with * characters let's
say or do you mean to actually not show (cut out) that name/value pair?
* What kind of data do we consider sensitive? Only passwords? If not, could you
please give me a hint?
* Is it a valid assumption that we do want to do this on any level (i.e. we
hide passwords on all layers for any services)?
Thanks.

Thanks.
> Handle passwords/sensitive data in Ambari configuration properties

> Key: AMBARI-22571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-22571
> Project: Ambari
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: ambari-server
> Reporter: Sandor Molnar
> Assignee: Sandor Molnar
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: config, security
> Fix For: trunk
>
>
> Passwords and other sensitive data stored as values to properties in Ambari
> configurations need to be masked or not stored in cleartext.
> For example,
> {{ldap-configuration/ambari.ldap.connectivity.trust_store.password}} and
> ldap-{{configuration/ambari.ldap.connectivity.bind_password}}.
> If the Ambari credential store is enabled (which might be by default as of
> Ambari 3.0.0), the sensitive date can be stored there like we do when
> sensitive data is to be stored in the ambari.properties file - see
> {{org.apache.ambari.server.security.encryption.CredentialStoreService}}.
