Process Spring Boot externalized property values

Question

I have the task of obfuscating passwords in our configuration files. While I don\'t think this is the right approach, managers disagree...

So the project I am workin

Answer 1

Use spring cloud config server

Define encrypt.key=MySecretKey

Post message to encrypt https://config-server/encrypt

Define password now like

app.password={cipher}encryptedvalue

Use @Value("${app.password}") in code

and spring boot should give you decrypted value
