Encrypt the database access password
By default, the database access password is not hidden on Payara services.
Below are the steps to follow to hide it.
Windows:
Open a PowerShell prompt and navigate to the Payara bin folder:
We must then create an alias for the password (make a note of this alias, as it will be useful later in the procedure!).
You will then be asked to enter the actual database access password twice.
A domain.password file is then automatically created in C:\Program Files\Gespage\GespageCore\server\payara5\glassfish\domains\domain1\conf\. This file is encrypted.
We must then edit the Gespage domain.xml file, located in C:\Program Files\Gespage\GespageCore\server\payara5\glassfish\domains\domain1\conf\, to enter our alias. I recommend using NotePad++ for ease of use.
At the beginning of the file is the database connection information.
Replace the ‘Password’ property with the name of our alias:
example:
Finally, simply restart the Gespage Application Server service.
Linux:
Open a terminal and navigate to the Payara bin folder:
We must then create an alias for the password (make a note of this alias, as it will be useful later in the procedure!).
You will then be asked to enter the actual password for accessing the database twice.
A domain.password file is then automatically created in /opt/Gespage/GespageCore/server/payara5/glassfish/domains/domain1/conf/. This file is encrypted.
We must then edit the Gespage domain.xml file using the following command:
At the beginning of the file is the database connection information.
You must replace the ‘Password’ property with the name of our alias:

Finally, simply restart Gespage using the following command:
