Obfuscate sensitive configuration file information

The connector SDK includes SensitiveDataCodec functionality to encode and decode information in your configuration file. To obfuscate sensitive information:

  1. Run your connector with the -DsecurityLevel=OBFUSCATED and com.google.enterprise.cloudsearch.sdk.config.SensitiveDataCodec parameters. This command requests the sensitive parameter, such as a sharepoint.password.

    java -DsecurityLevel=OBFUSCATED \
    -cp google-cloudsearch-csv-connector-v1-0.0.5.jar \
    com.google.enterprise.cloudsearch.sdk.config.SensitiveDataCodec
    

    The command outputs an obfuscated value like obf:Pm1saUwfSUJb5sPblTjPUw==.

  2. In your configuration file, replace the sensitive string with the obfuscated value. For example:

    sharepoint.password=obf:Pm1saUwfSUJb5sPblTjPUw==
    

You can also use a key pair from your Java Keystore. For example:

java -DsecurityLevel=ENCRYPTED -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=encryptKeyStore.jks \
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=testtest -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=JKS \
-Dalias=testkeypair -cp google-cloudsearch-csv-connector-v1-0.0.5.jar \
com.google.enterprise.cloudsearch.sdk.config.SensitiveDataCodec

If you use your own keys, you must pass similar parameters when running your connector.
