Shashank created SQOOP-2801:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Secure RDBMS password in Sqoop Metastore in a encrypted form
                 Key: SQOOP-2801
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2801
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.4.6
            Reporter: Shashank
            Assignee: Shashank
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.4.7


Currently Sqoop store password in the sqoop metastore in the form of plain text.While running command,
sqoop job --show <job_name> , password becomes visible as plain text.Also anyone can see the password in metastore db since it is visible in a plain text.In order to provide more security, CryptoFileLoader class is extended to store password in metastore in encrypted form.Sqoop will decrypt the password during exec job.In case of show job , the password will be visible as encrypted manner.User can pass any algorithm and passphrase to encrypt the password in a similar way as it happens in case of storing password in the File.
