Description

if we set

encryption.enabled = true

in etc/org.apache.karaf.jaas.cfg, and we have

admin = admin,admin
testuser=testpwd,admin

in etc/users.properties
then if login with user admin, we can admin password encrypted

admin = {CRYPT}21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3{CRYPT},admin
testuser=testpwd,admin

However if there will be 100s of users defined inside the "etc/users.properties" file then it becomes security hole and complex to connect to Karaf one by one using different credentials in order to get the encrypted passwords inside the file "etc/users.properties", we should encrypt them all as one goal if we set encryption.enabled = true
