---------------------------------
Summary: [Java Broker] Provide a mechanism by which "secure"
attributes in the configuration can be encrypted
Key: QPID-6017
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6017
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Java Broker
Reporter: Rob Godfrey
Assignee: Rob Godfrey
Attributes in the configuration which contain confidential information such as
passwords are annotated as "secure" in their definition. This is used to
prevent their disclosure through querying operations.
However it may be the case that this information needs to be encrypted even
within the configuration store. In this case the key material needed to
decrypt the confidential information must be held outside the configuration
mechanism (otherwise we are just shifting the problem around).
Deployment environments may have site specific mechanisms my which encryption
may occur, so the encryption mechanism must be pluggable and configurable at
the broker (and potentially at the virtual host node) level.
