Encrypting sensitive field values is supported in the meshlet. The meshlet will utilize encrypted fields based on values surrounded with encrypt( ). Thus, when the meshlet starts, any configuration values in the application.yml meshlet configuration file surrounded with encrypt( ) will be encrypted and the configuration file will be rewritten with the prefixes changed to encrypted( ).
Entering Encrypted Values
proxy:
host: proxyExample.perspectium.net
port: 8080
username: userExample
password: encrypt(<password_value>)
Where <password_value> is the original unencrypted value. For example, encrypt(mypassword) if your password is mypassword. You do not need to enter quotes or anything around the value.
NOTE: The java command to run the meshlet will need to specify the location of the application.yml meshlet configuration file in the -Dspring.config.location property to properly encrypt the fields specified.
java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev(,basicauth if needed) -Dlogging.config=config/logback-spring.xml -Dspring.config.location=config/application-dev.yml -jar meshlet.jar
Contact Perspectium Support for more information.
