Hi Team,
We are using jdbc nodes to connect to Hive/Hadoop server and we see that username(DbUser) and passwords ( DbPassword)
are getting stored in BRS file, is there any way we can mask them to avoid security issues

What version # are you seeing this in, and is the BRS on your PC, or up on a server?
I'm not aware of any way to suppress this behavior .. it should be entered as a new enhancement.

This should only happen with parameters that are defined at the graph level and are RUN parameters.

If it is an urgent security issue, you could change them to GraphParameters1 or GraphParamters2, or you could externalize the password by using {{*Password*}} which would allow the password to be supplied by the unix environment.

Hi ,
We are using 4.6.1 enterprise , LS running on Linux server. Yes , we are seeing this when we pass the parameters using graph level RUN parameters and currently observing passwords present on client PC BRS file
-If we change the parameters to Graph Parameters1&2 , does that mean they will not store password in BRP/BRS files both on client and server environment ?
-If we externalize the password and supply same from Unix , may I know the details how it can be done ? do mean we can pass them through wrapper shell scripts ?
-Also , is there any way lavastorm user password which is passed as part of laeController command can be encrypted ?
Please note LAE is being implemented for FS domain and security is great concern for them
