Open Stack

I see this bug is old and Wishlisted so it may never get fixed, but I'd
like to add that plaintext passwords are generally a no-no when the
service account auth is managed by Corporate AD or LDAP. It may
complicate some deployments but it would be nice to have a solution to
this.

Title:
  passwords in config files stored in plaintext

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The credentials for database conenctions and the keystone authtoken
  are stored in plaintext within the nova.conf and apipaste config
  files.

  These values should be encrypted.  A scheme similar to /etc/shadow
  would be great.
