> 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: 2.4, 2.5
> 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.
