Plaintext password is logged in server.log if enabling DEBUG for BPM Suite 6
Last modified: 2015-11-23 06:54:43 EST
** Description of problem: When the JBoss EAP 6.1.1 (on which it is installed BPM Suite 6) is started with DEBUG enabled, the password is logged in server.log after logging into business-central. 13:36:37,595 DEBUG [org.apache.coyote.http11] (http-/10.10.7.34:8080-1) JBWEB003028: Start processing with input [j_username=jroy&j_password=Passboba123%21] ** Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): BPM Suite/BRMS6 GA ** How reproducible: Always ** Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable DEBUG in standalone.xml as follows: <root-logger> <level name="DEBUG"/> <handlers> <handler name="CONSOLE"/> <handler name="FILE"/> </handlers> </root-logger> 2. Start the server 3. Logging into business-central 4. Look for "&j_password=" in server.log ** Actual results: 13:36:37,595 DEBUG [org.apache.coyote.http11] (http-/10.10.7.34:8080-1) JBWEB003028: Start processing with input [j_username=jroy&j_password=Passboba123%21] ** Expected results: Password should not be logged in server.log or it should be encrypted.
This doesn't look like a BRMS/BPMS issue, it looks like an issue with TOMCAT/JBOSS. Seems that are other people facing simular issues: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21471190/how-to-configure-jboss-tomcat-to-prevent-j-password-plain-text-content-in-log-fi (i'm not sure if we can workaournd this)
Attempted to verify using EAP 6.3 GA located here: http://download.devel.redhat.com/released/JBEAP-6/6.3.0/jboss-eap-6.3.0.zip and BPMS 6.1.0.DR2. This is not yet fixed.

The EAP team has verified this issue with EAP 6.3.0 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063645 Can you check with the EAP QE team to see how this was addressed?
Moving to MODIFIED for verification.
A password is no longer present in the logs with 6.2.0.CR1. Marking as verified.
