Marcel Berteler commented on SOLR-8897:
---------------------------------------

A slightly better way than using clear txt is using the obfuscated (OBF) version of the password which can be generated using the password utility that comes with Jetty.

> As per the steps mentioned at following URL, one needs to store the plain text password for the keystore to configure SSL for Solr, which is not a good idea from security perspective.

> Is there any way so that the encrypted password can be stored (instead of plain password) in solr.in.cmd/solr.in.sh to configure SSL?
