Jenkins / Task JENKINS-56865
Password to access InfluxDB is stored unencrypted on disk
Issue Type: Task Task
Assignee: Aleksi Simell
Attachments: Screen Shot 2019-04-03 at 11.22.52.png
Components: influxdb-plugin
Created: 2019-04-03 14:25
Environment: Version 1.20.4, Jenkins 2.170
Priority: Minor Minor
Reporter: Michel Zanini

When configuring the plugin on "Configure System", the username and password are typed directly in a field - see attached screen shot.

When saving, the user/password to access InfluxDB are saved in jenkinsci.plugins.influxdb.InfluxDbPublisher.xml unencrypted.

This plugin should make use of Jenkins credentials, and have a dropbox here to select the correct username/password credentials.

This is a security issue in my opinion and needs to be fixed ASAP.
Thanks.

Re: Password to access InfluxDB is stored unencrypted on disk

You're absolutely true. It should use Jenkins credentials instead. I'll see what I can do.

Do we have a ticket for making this plugin uses Jenkins credentials instead?
