 Description   

If you switch the AAA token store to the MD-SAL store for clustering, tokens are in plain text in the data store, hence you have a security issue.

Is this a duplicate of AAA-21? They seem similar but I'm not 100% positive. Thanks!

No, The RestConf bug is for passing back and forward user/password in clean text while this bug is for storing token inside the MDSAL data store in a non encrypted way. I guess the same encrypting/decrypting mechanism can be used for different kind of places where encryption is needed, maybe it will be a good idea to place a comment in AAA-21 stating to be aware of this bug encryption solution.

Tokens are not in plain text since dcb210ba960fd61c4bd8b8509fe3eb05ac095efd
