RELATED IDEAS

Sametime Community: Remove plain text password from Trace logging or warn admins for it. Hackers love it !!!

When you enable the trace in the Sametime Community server ( VP_TRACE_ALL=1 ) then the plain text password of all authenticated users are shown in the trace log ( stusers_*). Plain text in log, means also plain text in memory at that moment.


Be aware that hackers can find password now when traces are set and running.

I think a double RED warning should be in place !


Or......


Introduce a new paramater in order to show passwords when you think the trace should also incluse passwords.

    This is the evidence where we are talking about. I have changed the actual password to Welcome01! and logged in. You can now clearly see my Username (RemcoAngioni) and my password (Welcome01)
