Password added to the provider table is not encrypted.
Is it possible to also handle upgrade scenarios (where it is not already encrypted)?
Verified on: RHV 4.2.1-0.2.el7 ovirt-engine-4.2.1-0.2.el7.noarch ovirt-provider-ovn-1.2.3-1.el7ev.noarch Engine db --> providers --> auth_password fields are not clear-text.
The password will be encrypted whenever it will be saved to the db again. To save , it is enough to open the provider dialog, edit the provider and click ok.
