Encrypted Password for JNDI Resource
The database password in a JNDI Connection can optionally be encrypted, to avoid having the password saved in clear text in the panopticon.xml file. This requires the following:
- The PanopticonJNDIDataSourceFactory.jar from the Panopticon distribution zip archive must be placed in the tomcat/lib folder
- The clear text password must be encrypted using PCLI and the Encrypt command
- The special factory .JAR file must be specified in the Resource definition (see example below)
This is an example of a JNDI Connection Resource tag in panopticon.xml when using an encrypted password. The example assumes that a MonetDB database is used.
