Am looking at setting system wide proxy on VM(Suse OS) by editing the /etc/sysconfig/proxy file and setting proxy enviroment variables.
I would also need store the proxy server's username and password.Here password would be stored in encrypted format.
As appliance software upgrade is handled by VAMI, we need to ensure VAMI's update service is able to decrypt the password for communicating with Proxy server for purpose of accessing the update repository url that is in external network.
So am interested in knowing if VAMI supports encryption and decryption of passwords? Or does it expect the password to be in plain text?
