5 years ago Hi @nmshadey, the encrypted server password is not supported with basic authentication and this is why vRDT requires the vro.username and vro.password to be specified in the maven profile.
However, if you change to vRA SSO auth (<vro.auth>vra</vro.auth>), you use encrypted pass. Following is a sample profile with the required properties.
<servers>
<server>
<username>administrator@vsphere.local</username>
<password>{native+maven+encrypted+pass}</password>
<id>corp-dev-vro</id>
</server>
</servers>
....
<profile>
<id>corp-dev</id>
<properties>
<!--vRO Connection-->
<vro.host>10.29.26.18</vro.host>
<vro.port>8281</vro.port>
<vro.serverId>corp-dev-vro</vro.serverId>
<vro.auth>vra</vro.auth>
<vro.tenant>vsphere.local</vro.tenant>
</properties>
</profile>You can check here how to encrypt the password.

Description
The documentation suggests that the/ and tags can be removed in favour of using the encrypted server passwords. However, this doesn't appear to be possible and an error is thrown in VSCode that the tags are missing.
Is this even possible?
Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen] To use the server encrypted credentials instead of plain text passwords in the profile section of settings.xml
Actual behavior: [What actually happens] Extension cannot seem to function without the plain text credential tags being present.
Reproduces how often: [What percentage of the time does it reproduce?] 100%
