Question about password to protect private key in IdpCredentials

[WULMS Alexander]

Hi,

The IdPCredentials element (using the Filesystem X.509 Credential type) supports usage of a password protected private key in order to sign the SAML Response, whereby the password is stored in the (relying party) configuration file.

Is there a means to use an obfuscated password instead, whereby I would use a (custom) java class to perform the de-obfuscation of the obfuscated password stored in the config file? I suppose I could extend the FilesystemX509CredentialBeanDefinitionParser class but which plugin point should I start from and how much risk do I have on running into future upgrade issues, knowing that this class is not part of the public API?


Thanks and brs,
Alex
