Obfuscating the Credential Store Password

The password used for the credential store can be obfuscated in various ways. For more, see the Red Hat web site.

Using Password Based Encryption

For example, the password can be masked using Password Based Encryption (PBE) with the Elytron tool. Open a Command Prompt on the machine hosting the Xpress Insight Server and enter this command, where x.y.z represents the Wildfly version, subversion, and patch numbers:

Windows 

<INSIGHT_HOME>/server/wildfly-x.y.z/bin/elytron-tool.bat mask --salt 12345678 --iteration 200 --secret store-password

Linux 

<INSIGHT_HOME>/server/wildfly-x.y.z/bin/elytron-tool.sh mask --salt 12345678 --iteration 200 --secret store-password
Then amend the credential store password in standalone.xml file: 
<credential-store name="store-name" ...>
  <!-- Replace this: <credential-reference clear-text="store-password"/> 
  With: -->					
  <credential-reference clear-text="[MASK-abc;12345678;200]"/>
</credential-store>
