How To.

Resolution

The https.keystore.password and https.manager.password can be encrypted with the Jetty util that can be downloaded here: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-util/

Command line to obfuscate the password:

java -cp jetty-util-9.4.50.v20221201.jar org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.Password <password>

I.e.

java -cp jetty-util-9.4.50.v20221201.jar org.eclipse.jetty.util.security.Password changeit
2023-05-11 12:02:05.498:INFO::main: Logging initialized @180ms to org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StdErrLog
changeit
OBF:1vn21ugu1saj1v9i1v941sar1ugw1vo0
MD5:b91cd1a54781790beaa2baf741fa6789

Now add the obfuscated password in the configuration.properties including the string OBF:

https.keystore.password=OBF:1vn21ugu1saj1v9i1v941sar1ugw1vo0
https.manager.password=OBF:1vn21ugu1saj1v9i1v941sar1ugw1vo0
