There used to be a dedicated FAQ entry at
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Password, but the link is broken.

Currently, the only leftover that I can find is
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Security#, which says

> Why are passwords in plain text?
> We have a page dedicated to this topic. FAQ/Password

...but links to the same page this information is on, so the information
seems to be lost.

If someone has access to the old Wiki's information, it'd be a great
page to restore.

Until then, an option to implement this snake oil is mentioned here:
