Issue
- Certain property values need to be hidden in the Control Panel.
Resolution
- To obfuscate the value of a portal property and have it appear as a string of asterisks (****) in the Control Panel, you have to include the name of that portal property in the admin.obfuscated.properties portal property.
- By default, the admin.obfuscated.properties portal property is set as follows:
admin.obfuscated.properties=\
auth.mac.shared.key,\
auth.token.shared.secret,\
default.admin.password,\
dl.file.entry.preview.generation.decrypt.passwords.pdfbox,\
dl.repository.guest.password,\
jdbc.default.password,\
mail.session.mail.pop3.password,\
mail.session.mail.smtp.password,\
tunneling.servlet.shared.secret
