How do I encrypt password in Kafka connect properties file

My property file looks like below


connector.class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
Connection.url = hsbc:sqlserver://<connection string="">
connection.user = <sql user="" id="">
connection.passwor = <plain text="" password="">
mode=incrementing
name=<topic name="">
schema.partern=dbo
query =
table.types = VIEW
incrementing.column.name=Application_Identity
How do I avoid using plain text password to avoid security violation?

Im using Kafka in Linux server and Database as SqL server.

What I have tried:

Tried to read data from physical file with limited access to that file - but still the password is in plain text - this too did not solve the issue
