James William Dumay closed MRM-821.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Felipe,
I have to agree with Adrian on this. If Archiva encrypted the passwords in its configuration file it would still need to store the private key to decrypt the configuration file - most likely in the configuration directory.

Thanks for reporting.

James

> It is common to most of companies to provide Internet Services through network proxies. But it is unlikely to have anonymous access on such nodes. 
> Archiva stores passwords in a plain text format, generating a security risk or security flaw.
> It is really critical to have a encrypted password on Archiva's configuration file.
