Discussion

Oracle Node Manager is the utility that is used to perform common operational tasks for OHS. The "CustomIdentityKeyStorePassPhrase" property is used to protect the data within the keystore. Without protection, the data within the keystore could be compromised allowing an attacker to use the certificates to gain trusted access to other systems or processes.

Fix Text
