Setting up TLS Connection: How to read password from file
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a tomcat 6.0.13 to use TLS connections.
Therefor I configure the keystorefile for my servers.
The Problem now is: Since I have several Hardware-Stages (ET, IT, ..) I have a pk12 keystorefiles and the corresponding password in a separate file for each Stage. That is used to change keystores.
Therefor the tomcat should read the password from the password file, but I don't see any possibility to read the password from file. I can only configure the password "hard" in the setup.xml.
How can I configure the setup.xml to read the password from file?
Greetings,

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Password
Don't worry too much about all the complaints about how you are "doing
it wrong" on that page. In your case, it seems like you have a
sensible use case. There are some techniques on that page to allow you
to use an on-disk file containing the password.

This version is really ancient. You should update to a newer tomcat.

If you have no problem to have the passwords in clear text files, you can try to do ant style replacement as described in https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/.
That should work on your version, too.
But I don't know any setup.xml. Do you mean server.xml?
