Password encryption in Jackrabbit

Question

I am currently standing up a Liferay portal instance. Liferay uses Jackrabbit as its document repository management system. To configure Jackrabbit, I had to put in my database access URL, user name, and password into the repository.xml file. However, one certification check I have to pass is that there cannot be passwords stored in plain text files. So my question is how do I encrypt the password field in my Jackrabbit repository.xml file. Thanks.

Maybe using JNDI solves the problem: http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/UsingJNDIDataSource
