Hello, We are new to activemq and have read what's in here https://activemq.apache.org/encrypted-passwords
To quote: " [cid:image001.png@01D88CD3.34E635C0] Note: It is recommended that you use only alphanumeric characters for the password. Special characters, such as $/^&, are not supported. " Questions: 1. What should not contain special characters? Is it the secret string passed to the -password argument OR the real password being passed to -input? 1. On the same page I read the portion that talks about setting an environment variable to hold the secret value, start activemq and then unset that environment variable. But, how will this work in the case of say a server restart? We can't put the secret in the service file. Our security policies do not allow for the encryptor "secret" to remain in any configuration or settings files especially since the decrypt mechanism is also available on the same host via bin/activemq commands. So, if a bad actor gets into the host, he can get the secret and decrypt to get the real password. Any alternatives? Thanks. Sundar
