I am using WildFly 17 for deploying a Java Web-based JSF / PrimeFaces appllication, which also uses MySQL for storing data.
After reading several links about the WildFly credential store, like the ones below:
Reading passwords stored in WildFly's Elytron credential store using Java?
Connect to Wildfly Elytron's Credential Store with Masked Password
I decided to create an own WildFly credential store that will hold my password values.
But as some of the passwords are generated by the users online, their number is dynamic and could increase significantly if the number of users increases.
In this relation: How many password entries could the WildFly Credential Store handle, without decreasing its performance or the performance if the Web-Applicaton hosted?
-> Up to 40-60 entries -> Less than a hundred -> Several hundred -> Several thousand -> Ten to twenty thousand -> Up to fifty thousand -> Up to ....
If the answer is anything below "Several thousand" I should consider storing these passwords encrypted in the MySQL data base instead.
Thank you!
