Title

The Connection String (DB user and DB password) is shown in plain text in the Job Queue.
Description

Although these parameters are set to "hidden" in the process configuration, DB user and DB password are still in plain text.
Cause

The most likely reason is that you are logged in as viadmin with JobQueueInfo. This system user has special permissions and is able to see “hidden” parameters as well.
Resolution

Use another user. The additional option “Encrypted” for parameters becomes only effective, if the database is configured for encrypted mode.
