Following on from the discussion about how to encrypt connection factory passwords (see http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3820265#3820265), is it possible to read the username and password parameters defined in the login-config.xml from a properties file?
The following is an excerpt from my login-config.xml file:
<application-policy name = "OracleDBPassword">
<authentication>
<login-module code = "org.jboss.resource.security.SecureIdentityLoginModule"
flag = "required">
<module-option name = "username">${db.username}</module-option>
<module-option name = "password">${db.password}</module-option>
<module-option name = "managedConnectionFactoryName">jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=OracleDS</module-option>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</application-policy>
When I try to use this, I get the following exception, which indicates that the SecureIdentityLoginModule is trying to decode the string ${db.password} instead of that property's value.
2005-08-22 14:02:37,697 DEBUG [org.jboss.resource.security.SecureIdentityLoginModule] Failed to decode password

etc ...(As an aside, not so great to be logging this at DEBUG level ... ;-(
Is it perhaps in general not possible to define property replacements in the login-config.xml ?
thanks
