    Description

      Hi,

      I'm excited to share that in Confluence Server we are adding an extra layer of security. You can now encrypt the database password that is stored in confluence.cfg.xml file with one of the encryption methods provided.

      You can find more information in the below docs :-

      We are following Jira and Bitbucket’s lead on this for the sake of a consistent admin experience. In Bitbucket It's an opt-in feature that requires an admin to make a choice about what type of Cipher, etc. their installation uses. There is no specific instructions for AWS QuickStart/CloudFormation based installations.

      Hence, Guidance needed here for AWS based installations might get encryption enabled?
