Secure Bitbucket configuration properties
Deprecation notice
In Bitbucket 8.11, we've added a new property encrypted-property.cipher.classname that replaces the existing jdbc.password.decrypter.classname property. This new property allows you to encrypt all properties available in the bitbucket.properties file.
We will be removing the jdbc.password.decrypter.classname property in Bitbucket 9.0 and recommend switching to the new property.
To add extra security to your Bitbucket Data Center and Server instance, you can encrypt the configuration properties that are stored in the bitbucket.properties file. Different encryption methods are available for both basic and advanced users. Additionally, you can create your own encryption mechanism.
The solutions outlined below provide a level of protection for encrypting database values, but do not offer complete security.
The configuration files will still contain the necessary data to decrypt the values, which means that an attacker with access to these files could potentially decrypt the property values.
これらのアプローチは、機密データの偶発的な漏洩に対する保護を強化することを目的としていますが、包括的なセキュリティ ソリューションとして使用することは推奨されていません。
We recommend that you secure the server where Bitbucket and the database reside.
ベース64エンコード
We don't recommend Base64 encoding in production for securing secrets because it doesn't provide encryption, and therefore can't guarantee sufficient data protection.

AES 暗号化
This method allows you to choose an algorithm to encrypt sensitive information. It provides more security as you don't have to store encrypted information anywhere in the configuration file, which makes it difficult for unauthorized parties to find and decrypt it.
カスタム暗号化
If you have special requirements for encryption, you can create your own encryption mechanism based on our examples.
