---------------------------------------

Thanks [~amagyar]! Just wondering, would this make it into 1.6.0 and do we know when that release is scheduled for?

> We currently use Knox to authenticate users with Microsoft via pac4j federation config. 
> We have an OIDC client secret (oidc.secret) stored in plaintext in the topology file but we'd like to obfuscate and not have the plaintext value in the topology XML.
>  
> This is because OAuth strongly recommends to have the "client secret" protected.
>  
> The alias service currently only seems to work for LDAP, it would be good if we could use it inside our pac4j block too.
