 When you reset a password, the log file(JazzTeamServer/server/tomcat/logs/localhost_access_log) captures passwords in plain text.

 login to jts/admin -> Server -> Advance Properties - Locate Tomcat Users' Password Digest -> set the Value to True -> Restart the server .

After restart try changing user password and check if it shows in log files.

 java -cp encryptedDS.jar com.incorta.tools.tomcat.DataSourceFactory

Enter password:

Confirm password:

Encrypted Password: m1rwxCXxhW7p87U9AWe8yg==

Using the generated password in Tomcat
In Tomcat server.xml file, find the JDBC Datasource definition (i.e. Resource tag). Here's a sample datasource definition:

     <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/incortaDB" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
     factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" testOnBorrow="true"
     initialSize="10" maxActive="500" minIdle="10" validationQuery="select 1"
     driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" username="root" password="passw0rd"
To use the encrypted password, you need to do the following:

Add (or change if exists) the data source factory to com.incorta.tools.tomcat.DataSourceFactory. -
Update the password to be the encrypted one -from the previous step.-
Here's an update data source definition:

     <Resource auth="Container" name="jdbc/incortaDB" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
     factory="com.incorta.tools.tomcat.DataSourceFactory" testOnBorrow="true"
     initialSize="10" maxActive="500" minIdle="10" validationQuery="select 1"
     driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" username="root" password="m1rwxCXxhW7p87U9AWe8yg=="
