  • The Credential Store (CS) allows sensitive data to be encrypted and stored securely and independently of the application(s) such as YADE and the JobScheduler YADE JITL Jobs that use this data. Access to the CS is only possible with access methods such as a key file and/or password.
  • The CS requires the use of a .kdb or .kdbx database and the installation of a kdb-compatible user interface such as "KeePass", "KeePass 2" or "KeePass-X".The advantage of using a CS is that the CS stores sensitive information such as credentials in a standardized, secure and fully encrypted database and sensitive authentication information is not exposed in use. Applications access the CS database by using password, encryption-key file or a combination of both.
  • The CS can be used to securely store information of parameters, database connection URLs, private key files and other sensitive datarequires the use of a .kdb or .kdbx database and the installation of a kdb-compatible user interface such as "KeePass", "KeePass 2" or "KeePass-X".
