Ashish Jain commented on GERONIMO-4896:
---------------------------------------
I think there is still some tweaking required to the patch. The patch uploaded
does not allow the users to use the conventional way of setting the password
and locations in plain text.
Do we want this option be available to the users which is as follows.
export
JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=$GERONIMO_HOME/var/security/keystores/geronimo-default
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secret
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$GERONIMO_HOME/var/security/keystores/geronimo-default
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=secret"
or else we want to completely disable the usage of plain text passwords??

> Project: Geronimo

> Security Level: public(Regular issues)

> Reporter: Kevan Miller

> To my knowledge, it is not possible to run a Geronimo command (e.g. deploy.sh
> deploy or gsh geronimo/stop-server) to a server with a secure JMX Connector
> (running SSL, without specifying the following Java system properties on the
> command line:
> javax.net.ssl.keyStore and javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword
> For example:
> {code}
> export GERONIMO_HOME=~/target/geronimo-jetty6-javaee5-2.2-SNAPSHOT
> export
> JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=$GERONIMO_HOME/var/security/keystores/geronimo-default
> -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secret
> -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$GERONIMO_HOME/var/security/keystores/geronimo-default
> -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=secret"
> $GERONIMO_HOME/bin/deploy.sh -u system -p manager --secure list-modules
> --stopped
> {code}
> javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword causes a problem, since this means the
> keyStorePassword is available, in-the-clear, to someone inspecting executing
> processes. For example while a deploy command was active, someone could run
> 'ps auxww | grep deployer.jar' and discover the keyStorePassword for the
> KeyStore.
> Geronimo should provide a mechanism, whereby users can specify the
> keyStorePassword without making that secret available to anyone inspecting
> processes running on the current system. Ideally, the password could be
> encrypted/obfuscated within a file (just as passwords can be
> encrypted/obfuscated in var/config/config.xml).
