------------------------------------------
Hi community, this is a serious security flaw with an available patch. Could we
integrate this patch soon?

> The configurations.json file loaded in the ambari-agent cache located at
> /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/cluster_configuration contains password details
> in plaintext (Ex: ssl.client.keystore.password,ssl.client.truststore.password
> etc.). The values are loaded both in the memory cache and file cache, the
> file seems to be used only for debugging purposes, so it would be a better
> approach to mask the passwords in the file.
