Class PasswordUtil

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.soa.esb.services.security.PasswordUtil

public final class PasswordUtil
extends java.lang.Object

Util class that can read a password from a specified file.

This class simply delegated to FilePassword which performs the real work.

Creating a password file

Go to the conf directory of your jboss server instance (eg: default/conf) java -cp ../lib/jbosssx.jar org.jboss.security.plugins.FilePassword welcometojboss 13 testpass passwordFile

welcometojboss Is the salt value.

testpass Is the clear text password you want to protect.

passwordFile Is the name of the file which will contain the encrypted password.

Note that this is security by obscurity in that the password is not store in plaintext, but it can be recovered by simply using the code from this class.
