IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management AE - Enhance Kafka property files to store encrypted password for MDM Kafka publishing

Currently IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management AE v12 is not supporting to encrypt the Kafka user/password when publishing MDM message to external kafka server.

IBM PMR team suggested to enter clear text password in wsjaas.conf file to pass the user/password to external kafka application to publish the MDM message.

wsjaas.conf Location: /opt/was9/app-pd1/profiles/p-c9pd1-a/properties/wsjaas.conf

Added below snippet in wsjaas.conf to pass the kafka user/password to external kafka application for MDM publishing. 

KafkaClient {

  org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="MDMS01P" password="abc123";

};
