Password Clear Text

vitodc

Hello,

I am experiencing a strange issue with sqlcl 21.3. where my password is visible in clear text. I am not sure if this is a sqlcl, java or terminal issue. Anybody experiencing the same issue?

macOS Big Sur Apple M1 chip

Thanks

Here is a comparison with version 21.1

Getting the same issue when I try to install SQLcl using @krisrice

brew install sqlcl

Also, the ENTER key does not work after I type in my password, so I need to kill the terminal.

Is nobody else experiencing this?

Password? (**********?) *********

Same thing happening on Windows 10 machine using git-bash

User_H3J7U

Workaround:

SQL> alter user u1 identified by "****";

User U1 altered.

SQL> connect u1
Password? (**********?) ****
Connected.
SQL>

Here is another screen capture which is even more confusing.

I just wanted to follow-up on this thread.

Originally I downloaded the jdk-17.0.1 Arm 64 version which has this bug. I tried to download the x64 verision and it seems to work, password is now not showing. So it looks like there is a issue with using the Arm version of jdk.

I hope this helps other people.

That makes sense. Supported and recommended Jre for Sqlcl @ https://www.oracle.com/tools/sqlcl/sqlcl-relnotes-213.html#sec1
