Encrypt sensitive properties

You can encrypt sensitive information stored in the efm.properties file. You can encrypt a single sensitive property stored in the efm.properties file. You can also encrypt multiple sensitive properties stored in the efm.properties file.

Whenever you store sensitive information like database, keystore passwords in the efm.properties file, you are essentially making them vulnerable. Edge Flow Manager (EFM) provides an internal way to deal with this problem.

To decrypt sensitive properties EFM relies on the Jasypt library which Cloudera also recommends to use for encryption.
