FinalBuilder 6 shows password in Surround SCM Get action

Hi Guys,

I noticed that the password value is displayed in the log file for a Surround SCM get.

Hi Tracey,

Thanks very much for pointing this out! We'll have a fix for the Surround password bug out very shortly.

The extra INI file action output is part of a general effort in FB 6 to improve the quality of action output, to make it easier to follow the progress of a running project and debug any problems. You can selectively suppress output from an action by using a new feature called Output Monitors.

To add an output monitor:

1) Double-click the action you want to monitor.

2) Navigate to the Runtime tab.

3) Click the small button under the "Monitor Action Output" heading. A dialog will pop up.

4) Click the "Add New Output Monitor" button.

5) Enter a search string, in this case something like "_PWD"

6) Choose "Suppress any matching log messages" from the action dropdown.

... no output which contains the string _PWD will be sent to the log. See the "Output Monitors" topic in the Help for more details.

 

You can use a similar technique as a temporary workaround for the Surround password issue. You could use a string like "Parameters: " to match the line to suppress. However, I'll let you know when an update with a permanent fix for this issue is released.

Hi Tracey,

Here’s a test build that should fix the issue with passwords being logged from the Surround action:
https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/600/FB600_719.exe

Thanks again for reporting this. Please let us know if you get a chance to try the build. An official minor update should be released, soon.

Sorry about the long delay in responding...

I downloaded and tested FB600_719.exe the week the link was provided and the problem was resolved.  I also installed the official release containing the fix.  And, the problem was resolved in it.  Thanks so much for your help guys!!!
