Ashish Jain commented on GERONIMO-4896:
---------------------------------------
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for your comments. I will modify the patch as suggested by you. On the
default KEYSTORE_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_FILE GERONIMO-5146 takes care of that. I
will
further make one more addition through which the default password are picked
automatically by the server w/o any need for user to specify any parameter.
User will only have to
specify the system properties if he is using custom keystore, truststore.
Thanks
Ashish

> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)

> 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).
