Is it save to expose entity ids of data that is in Google Datastore.
For example in my code i have entity with this id:
@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
@Extension(vendorName="datanucleus", key="gae.encoded-pk", value="true")
private String id;
The id is going to be similar to this: agptZeERtzaWYvSQadLEgZDdRsUYRs
Can anyone extract password, application url and any other information from this string? What is the meaning of that string?
That entity ID contains the object id, appliation id, and object class name. It’s just an encoded string. Not really any sort of security risk.
