Hallo everyone,

I am using a jaas file to authenticate to a Kafka enterprise.

KafkaClient { org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required

username="MyUsername"

password="MyPassword"; };

This configuration, with the password in clear text, is working fine.

the file in the conf directory of tomcat and is passed as JVM parameter to tomcat as "-Djava.security.auth.login.config"

Now I am required to encrypt the password in the jaas file, but it looks I can't use the JCE encryption as described here: https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/security/85/creating-custom-cipher

Is there a way to encrypt the password in the file? And which are the steps on Pega necessary to have the password correctly read?

Thanks in advance to everyone who will be able to help me with this issue!
