The Password Manager module stores passwords encrypted and allows to retrieve their plain text value programmatically. This is useful for connector modules which must authenticate to third-party systems with a plain text password.
Once the password is stored, a user of the Magnolia admin interface cannot see the password in plain text. The plain-text value can be retrieved only through program code.
The module installs the Passwords
app which centralizes the management of passwords in the administration
of Magnolia. The passwords are stored in a dedicated workspace called
keystore.
Installing with Maven
Bundled modules are automatically installed for you.
If the module is unbundled, add the following to your bundle including your project’s <dependencyManagement> section and your webapp’s <dependencies> section.
If the module is unbundled but the version is managed by the parent POM, add the following to your webapp’s <dependencies> section.
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.passwordmanager</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-module-password-manager</artifactId>
<version>1.2.7</version> (1)
</dependency>| 1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>. |
The mgnl:passwords node type
The module provides a specific
node type for the
passwords called mgnl:password.
Bootstrapping
Content can be exported and imported for bootstrapping like any other workspace. However, the same encryption key must be used to decrypt the imported passwords as well as encrypt the export. This process uses the same key used for activation, so the key must be preserved, and not regenerated on startup, where passwords require bootstrapping.
See the Activation keys page.
Usage
See the Passwords app page.
