    For me, I had to set the property that was sensitive with data and then override it with a Jenkins parameter and with an overloaded property in the project itself. In my case, I was using a WSS-Config password, so I set a pair of Project-level properties, certPath and certPass. Since certPass was sensitive, that was set up as a global jenkins password, and my testrunner script looked like this:

     

     

    exit_status=$(testrunner.sh "-FXML" "-RJUnit-Style HTML Report" -J -a -A -r "-PcertPath=${certPath}" "-PcertPass=${certPass}" ${WORKSPACE}/path/to/project.xml

Would it be possible to explain the issue with sample log to understand the issue better? Need not be exact data.
What sort of properties are those? Any password or so?

I ran into a similar problem with passwords/sensitive information, at least when it came to being output in the Jenkins console. I was able to obfuscate that by setting it as a global level password property within Jenkins and referencing it as a paramter. I believe that made Jenkins obfuscate, in this instance, the password. 

For the reports, you might have to augment the reporting logic to override that. I want to say I've seen similar posts here in the forums on that.

    How do you refernce the global Jenkins property within the Ready API project?
