Does Appian support the encryption of the -ds.xml file?

JBoss comes with the built-in encryption algorithm for datasource files. See this documentation:

www.jboss.org/.../DOC-9703

Some comments from following the documentation from others who have implemented:

If you use the appian-ds.xml template example from the documentation - you will need to remove the <security-domain /> and <application-managed-security /> elements from the datasource defintion.

Following the instructions - you end up with a password that's been encrypted using a key that's hardcoded in the JBoss source. It would be trivial for someone to decrypt but, it's a step above having a plaintext password in appian-ds.xml.

Thanks Michael, at least that will require with a certain skillset (as opposed to a user with Notepad installed!)

here is a more recent documentation of the feature. Link says 6.0 but instructions say these are good for 5.1+: docs.jboss.org/.../Encrypting_Data_Source_Passwords.html

our credentials are tokenized into the "stage".properties files not for security purposes but to ensure the build of all our stages connect to the corresponding stages of the RDBMs (alpha, beta, gamma, etc...) I am struggling to figure out how to implement these instructions without breaking that aspect of our build.
