Abstract:                  TEST FIX - plain passwords in bpeconfig.log

Description/symptom of problem:
When running the bpeconfig.jacl script in batch mode, there are certain cases where passwords that are passed
as parameters are written in clear text to the bpeconfig.log file. This happens when bpeconfig.jacl is invoked
with parameters without value, like '-dbVersion' in this example:

    wsadmin -conntype NONE -f bpeconfig.jacl -dbVersion -dbType DB2 ...

This fix ensures that passwords are always masked in the bpeconfig.log file.

Directions to apply fix:

1) Copy pak file to the directory maintenance in the UpdateInstaller directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere. It is important that you perform a controlled and complete shutdown of the server to ensure
   that all transactions have completed, before installing the fix.

3) Follow the Fix installation instructions that are packaged with the Fix Installer on how to install the Fix.

4) Restart WebSphere


Directions to remove fix:
NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
       ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

          removed, fix3 must be removed first, then fix2 may be removed
