Description

The Metadata class can be used to load data from the database using reflection on the data layer objects. However, in #1784 it was discovered that some properties may contain sensitive data that has higher protection than other data (eg. change history logs). A solution was implemented as part of that ticket (see [6355]). The same protection should be applied to some other properties:

  • Passwords (they are encrypted, but usually not readable by anyone)
  • Internal file name (is for internal use only)

  • Client certificate
  • Client certificate password
