Crypt private key passphrase

Post by qt_zetroc »

Hi All,

Is there a way to crypt the passpharase of your own private key displayed at Sysconfig>Framework>Crypt::PGP? It seems that it is displayed as plain text on the web.

For some reasons, we need to hide and make it confidential due to security reasons.

By the way, I have tried crypting using otrs.CryptPassword.pl but does not work. It is giving me a "bad passphrase" error and not able to decrypt incoming messages. It seems that the script only works for crypting otrs database password.

that's not possible at the moment. You can put these configs in Config.pm if needed (but not crypt the passwort)

But only the admin can see the password in the admin frontend....

As jojo said, the only ones who would see this are the people who have admin access.

Well, there is that, and the fact that any encryption would be code wise unencrypted before proper use anyway...
