    Description

      We are running AMQ Streams 1.4 in OpenShift environment. Currently when the entity operator starts up it is printing the certificate passwords in plain-text, which show up in our logs. This is causing problems with our audits. Both the STRIMZI_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD and STRIMZI_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD passwords are being displayed as shown below.

      I looked at the source code for the Session object and it appears that there is no filtering of the configuration information before logging.
