You can use Spring Cloud Config to do this.

  1. Include the spring-cloud-starter-config dependency.
  2. Install the Spring Boot CLI and add the Cloud CLI to it. See this and this.
  3. Encrypt your password by issuing the spring encrypt <string to encrypt> --key <encrypt key>.
  4. Replace the password in your properties file with the encrypted password and preface the password with '{cipher}'. See this.
  5. Start your application with -DENCRYPT_KEY=<encrypt key> or -Dencrypt.key=<encrypt key>.
