Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Alex Poulos <>]

You can use env variables and read from these within a config file. Here's an example:

hibernate.connection.password.elConfig =  ${java.lang.System.getenv().get('DATABASE_PASSWORD')}

(Note the .elConfig at the end of the config parameter: this lets you use JEXL).

You can then populate DATABASE_PASSWORD however you wish (k8s secret e.g.)

Is there any documentation or guidance on pulling out secrets from Grouper configuration files?

I found https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=14517786&preview=%2F14517786%2F159979514%2F20191211-TechEx-TAP-Containers-Cloud.pdf which is what I'm doing now by placing properties files that contain secrets into Kubernetes secrets but ideally I'd like to have these files under version control and only store the passwords in a system like K8s secrets or something like Hashicorp Vault.
