[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-2216) Use JLine API to get password
interactivly when using shutdown
Use JLine API to get password interactivly when using shutdown
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2216
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2216
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: startup/shutdown
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Jason Dillon
Assigned To: Jason Dillon
Priority: Minor
Sometimes when interactively entering a password for shutdown, if the password is typed too fast, some of the chars are visible for a brief period.
JLine provides the ability to mask the input as it is read (or omit it all together):

----------------------------------------
Well, it's kind of funky... Not 100% pure java (dynamically extracts a dll and loads it on windows machines). Supported platforms on their website says:
JLine should work on any Windows system, or any minimally compliant POSIX system (includling Linux and Macintosh OS X).
I have to assume that there are some environments/JRE's where this might not work...

[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-2216) Use JLine API to get password
interactivly when using shutdown
Posted by "Jason Dillon (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2216?page=all ]
Jason Dillon updated GERONIMO-2216:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: GERONIMO-2216.diff
Attached patch reworks the PasswordReader into an InputReader, which uses the JLine library to provide console access and masking for passwords.
Hooked up to the shutdown command and the related car deps, so running shutdown.sh w/o flags will result in something like:
{noformat}
Username: system
Password: *******
{noformat}
This works for unix systems, windows and when no supported terminal is detected, reverts to the default brute force method that existed in PasswordReader, which was incorporated into JLine w/version 0.9.9
This patch fixed the issue of parts of the password being displayed when entered too fast.

----------------------------------------
Yup, there is probably some env where this won't work... but JLine can detect that and will revert to basically the same behavior as we had before... I clued them into out brute force method.
But, 99% of the time it will work... and in reality its more like 99.99% of the time, since almost everyone is on Linux, Windows or Mac OS X (or some other Unix).
