Encrypting Passwords
There are two options for representing the password, either plain text or
encrypted passwords may be used. In order to use encrypted passwords a set of
keys must be generated that will be used by the encryption and decryption
process. To generate the keys use the maxkeys command and pass the name of the
secrets file in which the keys are stored.
maxkeys /var/lib/maxscale/.secrets
Once the keys have been created the maxpasswd command can be used to generate
the encrypted password.
maxpasswd plainpassword

The username and password, either encrypted or plain text, are stored in the
service section using the user and password parameters.
Here is an example configuration that uses an encrypted password.
[My-Service]
type=service
router=readconnroute
router_options=master
servers=dbserv1, dbserv2, dbserv3
user=maxscale
password=96F99AA1315BDC3604B006F427DD9484
