The "password" configuration parameter type

The configuration parameters of an IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator component in a Config can be "string", "number", "boolean", and so on. One of the available types is "password". If a configuration parameter is of type password, then the Configuration Editor shows its value in the component configuration window as a sequence of '*' characters - both when typing in a new password, and when opening an existing configuration for editing or running.
