Need a way to specify repository credentials securely for deploy operations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEPLOY-129 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEPLOY-129 Project: Maven 2.x Deploy Plugin Issue Type: New Feature Components: deploy:deploy-file Affects Versions: 2.5, 2.4 Environment: All Reporter: Rick Herrick Currently, credentials for performing a deployment must be specified in the settings.xml. However, if a Maven repository is set to use LDAP for its authentication mechanism, this means exposing domain security credentials in plaintext in a static file on the hard drive and is _extremely_ insecure (as specified in the documentation: "Unfortunately, Maven doesn't currently support hashed or encrypted passwords in the settings.xml"). This is simply not workable in a secure environment, e.g. government, defense, financial, etc. Instead there should be an option to provide these credentials on the command line or using hash or encryption algorithms. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
