Supports three openssl style prefixes namely - env:, file: pass:. Also supports
the legacy literal: prefix. env:var obtains the password from the environment
variable var. Since the environment of other processes is visible on certain
platforms (e.g. ps under certain Unix OSes) this option should be used with
caution. file:absolutepath obtains the password from the absolute path of the
file containing the password. This option is the safest since permissions can
be set on the file. pass:password or literal:password or password with no
prefix is used to directly specify the password and should only be used where
security is not important. If both password and passwordFile are provided, the
passwordFile is ignored",
Review comment:
I wouldn't mention openssl here - we're not exactly compatible due to
"literal:"

> Key: DISPATCH-1440
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1440
> Project: Qpid Dispatch
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Container
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Ganesh Murthy
> Assignee: Ganesh Murthy
> Priority: Major
>
> Deprecate the passwordFile field and consolidate all password scenarios to
> use the password field. We will use the password options that
> [openssl|https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/openssl.html] uses (see
> Pass Phrase Options sections). Going forward, here are three ways to specify
> a password in an sslProfile
>
> {noformat}
> sslProfile {
> caCertFile: .....
> certFile: .....
> # Get the password from the environment variable TLS_SERVER_PASSWORD.
> Note the env: prefix
> password: env:TLS_SERVER_PASSWORD
> OR
> # Get the password from the absolute file path. Note the file: prefix
> password: file:/home/tls/password-file.txt
> OR
> # Specify the actual password. Note the pass: prefix
> password: pass:actual_password
> } {noformat}
> (We will not be supporting the openssl options fd: and stdin
>
>
> While you can still specify the actual password in the password field using
> the pass: prefix, which casual users might want to do, you are also able to
> specify the file path or environment variable for more robust security.
> This change will be backward compatible which means, you will still be able
> to specify the actual password in the password field without the pass:
> prefix. The "literal" prefix will continue to work as well. The passwordFile
> field will be deprecated and eventually removed when we to a major version.
