ERP Password change affects ERP Sync

Changing the ERP admin password stops the ERP sync as bahmni-erp-connect (Atom feed service) uses the default user id and password in Atomfeed.properties. Though this has been documented in Troubleshooting steps for ERP Sync

  1. Is there a better way to automatically take care of atomfeed.properties?
  2. Is there a better way to secure default user name password than storing it in atomfeed.properties?

We use the default user/pwd for default setup everywhere. Using the inventory file, you can change that. Also, this can be changed through ansible group vars or extra vars, if i am not wrong. If not, let us know and we will create variables accordingly.

Since usage of default user id and pwd has been documented, I am not much worried about that. My point is when end user (hospital admin) changes the ERP password it will stop ERP sync. Also the atomfeed.properties is a text file so how secure it is to have user id and password in that file? That’s the concern behind posting those 2 questions.
