sftp password in conf file

[zeljkom]

Hello,

Path of archive is configured as follows:

path sftp://username:password@IPaddressofSFTP/

The password is visible (clear text).

Is there any way to encrypt password of SFTP in conf file?

Hello,

the global config command 'service password-encryption' should in theory encrypt every password that can be found in the running configuration...

[zeljkom]

This command is already included in the conf file.
As I see, it encrypts all passwords except this one.

Have you considered storing the SFTP password in a separate, protected file, and referencing it from the configuration file, to enhance security?

[zeljkom]

I can not find that option in the Configuring SSH File Transfer Protocol guide.
Could you please provide me more information about that solution?

Have you explored options for securely managing access credentials, such as using a secure credential vault or encryption key management system?

Yes, there are ways to encrypt the password of SFTP in the configuration file to enhance security. One common method is to use SSH keys for authentication instead of passwords. This involves generating a public/private key pair, where the public key is stored on the SFTP server and the private key is kept securely on your local machine. Another option is to utilize tools or libraries that support encryption for configuration files, allowing you to securely store sensitive information such as passwords. Additionally, some systems offer built-in features or modules specifically designed for securely managing credentials within configuration files.
