Password aliases in FileRealm

Hi,

I use a fileRealm for HTTP BASIC authentication. I don't want to enter
raw passwords since they are stored in plain text (I think). I was able
to use password aliases to get around this problem in JCA connector
properties, but it does not seem to work for FileRealms. I'll do some
more experimenting to see if I did something wrong. It would be helpful
if someone can tell me a definitive YES or NO about password aliases
being available in security realms.


Thanks,
Ryan
