indika priyantha kumara commented on AXIS2-4725:
------------------------------------------------

My solution is based on the code in the Apache synapse [1]. It is a 
self-contained module. I hope, it is better to add a syn external to it  if 
this patch would be applied. 

There is a basic description about my solution in both synapse documentation 
and WSO2 ESB documentation [2]. I have improved that solution further.

The attached patch is to provide a global password provider that is responsible 
for securing the passwords in the axis2 configuration. 

<passwordManager>
<protectedTokens> coma separated list of tokens </protectedTokens>
<passwordProvider> class of password provider </passwordProvider>
</passwordManager>

I will create separate JIRAs and attach patches for securing the passwords in 
transport configurations, axis2 web app, etc ...
