Need the ability to encrypt password in properties file

darren-wrigley commented 4 years ago

Hi Chris - i will look into this.
i think there are a few options to consider:-

1 - using environment variables (so not putting the pwd in the .properties file) 2 - encrypting, using a key that exists within the scanner & a utility function to create/write the encrypted password 3 - re-factor the scanner to use the new scanner SDK - so any passwords are stored within EDC like the other scanners

i think #3 is the best longer term solution - but i would also like to look at the other options, or a combination of 1 & 2 as a recommended standard for other custom scanners

password encryption is now supported.
start the scanner passing password - see notes in https://github.com/Informatica-EIC/Custom-Scanners/tree/master/Denodo_Scanner#readme
