Password getting printed !

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 09:04:18 GMT

Hi ,

I tried system.out.println(context.mySQLPassword) where context.mySQLPassword is of password type and it printed me the value of that password . Isn't a security concern ! This should have been encrypted or of private type .

Thanks ,

Praveen vm.

Hello Praveen vm,

The DB connection password has been encrypted since V 5.5. It has '****' displayed, when you define it in a context variable.

For your use case, here is a related jira issue:https://jira.talendforge.org/browse/TDI-30624.

Best regards
