> The  configurations.json  file loaded in the ambari-agent cache located at  /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/cluster_configuration contains password details in plaintext (Ex: ssl.client.keystore.password,ssl.client.truststore.password etc.). The values are loaded both in the memory cache and file cache, the file seems to be used only for debugging purposes, so it would be a better approach to mask the passwords in the file.
