In 2.4 would it be possible to let the "credentials" setting under "syncrepl" in a consumer to be encrypted, and not plain text, like the rootpw can be?

Please don't use the ITS to ask software usage (or development trends) questions.

The syncrepl consumer acts as a client with respect to the producer DSA; as a consequence, to be able to perform simple bind, it needs to provide the credentials in cleartext. Either you use a bindmethod different from simple (e.g. SASL) which does not require cleartext credentials (e.g. GSSAPI) or you'll ever need to provide cleartext credentials.

This ITS will be closed.
