Hello,

We are new to activemq and have read what's in here 
https://activemq.apache.org/encrypted-passwords

Question:
That page talks about setting an environment variable 
(ACTIVEMQ_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD) to hold the encryption password, start activemq 
and then unset that environment variable. But, how will this work in the case 
of say a server restart? We can't put that encryption password into any systemd 
service file.

Our security policies do not allow for the encryption passwords to remain in 
any configuration or settings files especially since the decrypt mechanism is 
also available on the same host via bin/activemq commands. So, if a bad actor 
gets into the host, he can get the secret and decrypt to get the real password.

Any alternatives?

Thanks.
