| Component | OpenIDM JDBC Repository Server |
| Severity | High |

Description:
JDBC Repository passwords are no longer auto-encrypted by OpenIDM when the repository is activated.

Workaround:
Manually encrypt the JDBC Repository password using the OpenIDM Command-Line Interface as detailed in the following Knowledge Article: Repository password is not encrypted in OpenIDM 3.x or 4.x log and configuration files.
Resolution:
None
