[jira] [Created] (FELIX-6428) Provide a compatibility switch to enable password detection heuristic

Carsten Ziegeler created FELIX-6428:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide a compatibility switch to enable password detection heuristic
                 Key: FELIX-6428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6428
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Web Console
    Affects Versions: webconsole-4.6.0
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: webconsole-4.6.2


Before FELIX-5661 the web console had a heuristic to detect OSGi configuration properties containing passwords. With FELIX-5661 this switched purely to rely on metatype.
There is still a lot of code out there which has not updated metatype information for years and is not using password type. Therefore we should provide a compat switch to enable the old behaviour to avoid that passwords are out of the sudden displayed in the web console.
