Description

Hi there!
I've deployed apache ignite version 3.0.0, but even though everything is working – I noticed that encrypting the JKS password in the ignite-config.conf file is impossible, I tried environment variables and a few other options – nothing worked. I would very much appreciate knowing the options I have for encrypting the password so it won't be plain text in the config file, or if there will be such an option soon, thank you!

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the JKS password is represented in ignite-config.conf and identify the configuration entry involved. Determine whether the issue should document an existing supported option or define a new encrypted-password mechanism; done requires an agreed, usable way to avoid storing the password in plain text.
