Benjamin Bentmann commented on MDEPLOY-129: ------------------------------------------- Specifying credentials on the command line seems to contradict the "securely" constrainst, cf. MNG-4841, but anyways. > Need a way to specify repository credentials securely for deploy operations > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDEPLOY-129 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEPLOY-129 > Project: Maven 2.x Deploy Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: deploy:deploy-file > Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.5 > Environment: All > Reporter: Rick Herrick > > Currently, credentials for performing a deployment must be specified in the > settings.xml. However, if a Maven repository is set to use LDAP for its > authentication mechanism, this means exposing domain security credentials in > plaintext in a static file on the hard drive and is _extremely_ insecure (as > specified in the documentation: "Unfortunately, Maven doesn't currently > support hashed or encrypted passwords in the settings.xml"). This is simply > not workable in a secure environment, e.g. government, defense, financial, > etc. > Instead there should be an option to provide these credentials on the command > line or using hash or encryption algorithms. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
