J.W. Janssen commented on FELIX-4599:
-------------------------------------
Interesting point. Note that if the ConfigAdmin is going to be responsible for
encrypting/decrypting the values, then it is fairly easy to recover the
confidential information from another bundle. Alternatively, you could decrypt
the configuration values in your component in which case the ConfigAdmin does
not have to be modified at all: it simply passes an encrypted string...

> Key: FELIX-4599
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4599
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Configuration Admin
> Reporter: Dominique Jäggi
>
> Currently it is not possible to define configuration properties, the contents
> of which should be automatically encrypted upon save by the configuration
> admin.
> An example would be a mail server configuration, where SMTP credentials must
> specified and the password should be encrypted upon saving the configuration.
> The encrypted password should then be accessible and decryptable in the
> component to which the configuration is bound.
