Hi Jeff,

If a property of a component is marked as "sensitive" then the value
is encrypted in the flow.xml.gz.

An example being the password property of DBCPConnectionPool [1] which
says "Sensitive Property: true" in the documentation.

Keep in mind, if you develop custom components then it is up to you to
mark the appropriate properties as sensitive.

Let us know if that is not what you are asking about.

Thanks,

Bryan
