[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-8897) SSL-related passwords in solr.in.sh
are in plain text
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8897?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15575180#comment-15575180 ]
Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8897:
-----------------------------------
For the problem of revealing passwords in solr.in.sh, would it help to point to an external file for retrieving the SSL passwords? e.g. {{SOLR_SSL_CONFIGFILE=/var/secret/ssl-passwords.txt}}?
I'm not sure if we can avoid passing the passwords to Jetty using sysprops. However, we can avoid passwords being exposed in the Admin UI "Args" section by showing {{*****}} instead of password? Probably need to be done on REST API level?

> 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?
