Issue

• Is it possible to hash the passwords (found in *conf/props/jmx-console-users.properties *) used to log in to the JBoss console (jmx-console)?
• jmx-console web application is secured through JAAS realm and properties files located in conf/props. How can I encrypt password in jmx-console-users.properties ?
• At present, there are serveral modules in EAP 5.1 where we input character based password in properties files. e.g  1.jmx-console-users.properties, jbossws-users.properties, messaging-users.properties.  We currently have a requirement to encrypt these passwords to meet our corporate security standards.
• The remote web server(jboss EAP) contains web pages(jmx-console) that are protected by 'Basic' authentication over plain text, Could you please help us on how to encrypt the jmx-console password?

• How do I generate hashed passwords in the MD5 base64 format?
