I will assume you mean protect the file from being read. The easiest way to do that is to assign read/write permission to the file to whoever user is running tomcat and remove all permissions from group. That also assumes that you are running some flavour of Unix, but you could achieve the same with Win32 security.
-----Original Message----- From: Sonny Sukumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 March 2004 01:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to protect server.xml? Hey guys, I have both a keystore password and a database connection user name/password in cleartext in my server.xml file and I don't know how to get around that. In light of this, has anybody come up with a way to protect server.xml? Is there a way to encrypt these passwords? Or perhaps to encrypt the whole server.xml file itself? This has been weighing on my mind for a few months now, and I couldn't find a solution in the mailing list archives. I'd appreciate any help!
