hazelcast cluster: password alias replication

[Brady Vidovic]

I have a hazelcast cluster set up with two nodes, both referencing the same configuration. Session replication is working.

I'd like to use password aliases in the System Properties values, e.g.

DB_PASSWORD=${ALIAS=db_password}

However, this doesn't seem to work.

1. Are password aliases expected to work when using hazelcast cluster with independent nodes?
2. If so, what am I doing wrong?

This is the error I receive when creating the alias on the DAS:

Not sure what your exact asadmin command is, but the password alias is hell to get right with respect to quoting and escaping. Here's what works for me:

password='\$\{ALIAS\=db-password\}'

I'm doing it thru the web UI on the das, so not command line escaping is required.

Hi Brady,

I've reproduced this myself. It seems it happens with any remote instance. I created an internal issue PAYARA-1987 to get this resolved.
