Sebb commented on MNG-5512:
---------------------------
Note that there are two errors here:
- not stopping when decryption fails
- not stopping when login fails
Only the former requires the use of encrypted credentials.
> Deploy uses passwords that failed decryption; retries even if login fails

> [See MDEPLOY-130 which was closed as being an issue in Maven core]
> If passwords have been encrypted, deploy fails to notice if the password
> decryption failed.
> Furthermore, it carries on trying to login even after a login failure.
> This is true even if the decryption succeeded but the password was incorrect
> or no encryption was used and the password is incorrect.
> This is bad as it can result in lockout due to the multiple failed logins -
> deploy needs to login several times - and may cause unnecessary work for
> system admins.
