[jira] [Commented] (CONNECTORS-486) Optionally encrypt the file which the crawler configuration is exported to

["Erlend Garåsen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-486?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13449674#comment-13449674 ] 

Erlend Garåsen commented on CONNECTORS-486:
-------------------------------------------

The ImportConfiguration and ExportConfiguration tools do now support the following optional argument: <passcode>. If a passcode is entered, the zipped file will be encrypted/decrypted by using the AES algorithm (128 bit). In order to use this functionality, one needs to place the following property in properties.xml:
<property name="org.apache.manifoldcf.salt" value="salt_value"/>

I will commit this within a few working days.

> The "org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.ExportConfiguration" command class is exporting passwords, for instance to the configured Solr server (Solr Output Connector). This may be a security problem if the export file is version-controlled or placed on a public server.
> We should add an extra "no password" argument to the command class in order to skip such passwords.
