Scope
This article describes a relatively simple example configuration to illustrate the use of the Credential Store . The example can be used with both the YADE Client and the JobScheduler JADE JITL job using to allow users to in relatively simple example file transfer configurations. These configurations implement transfers using live servers and downloads are available for these configuration so that users can get a working Credential Store up and running and tested as easily as possible.
This descriptions provided in this article also apply for the configuration of a settings file and Credential Store for use with the YADE instance that is integrated in the JobScheduler and available via the YADE JITL jobs. See the Using the Credential Store with the JobScheduler section below for more information.
This article does not attempt to provide a step-by-step description of file transfer configuration, which is available elsewhere in this article, for example, in the tutorials for YADE and the JobScheduler.

The example presented in this article illustrates the configuration and use of the Credential Store in a simple file transfer operation that is carried out with the YADE Client.example presented in this article illustrates the configuration and use of the Credential Store in two simple file transfer operations:
- downloading from an online server to the local file system
- downloading from an online server to the local file system via a jump host installed in a DMZ.
Each configuration is stored in an XML settings file that can then be used by both the YADE Client and by YADE JITL jobs that are provided with the JobScheduler.
The simple downloading from an online server example operation described in this article The file transfer operation is based on the file transfer example described in detail in The YADE Client Command Line Interface - Tutorial 1 - Getting Started article. The tutorial describes the configuration required to download a number of files from an online server provided by the SOS GmbH and save these files on the user's local file system. Using this server means that users can get a working example up and running with a minimum of effort. A simplified version of the configuration used in the tutorial (only specifying transfer by FTP) is available as a download: sos-berlin_demo_2_local.xml.
In the current example, the Credential Store is to store configuration information for the online server - i.e. for the file transfer source. The principle described can be equally well used for the configuration of multiple file transfer source, target, proxy and jump-host servers and for the other file transfer protocols that can be used by the YADE Client.
Note that a YADE Client YADE Client and/or JobScheduler Master is required to carry out the example file transfer. Instructions for installing and configuring the YADE Client can be found in the YADE - Tutorials article.

Settings XML files such as the sos-berlin_demo_2_local_cs.xml file which was used to configure the example described above can be used for JobScheduler JITL jobs. Here, only two parameters are needed to run the YADE JITL job (settings and profile) as can be set for the YADE JITL jobs (JADEjob and JADE4DMZjob) as can be seen in the next screenshot.
Note that we recommend that these parameters are set manually using the New button shown in the screenshot below and not using the Wizard button.

Note also that while the YADE Client runs under the current user account, the JobScheduler generally runs under a predefined account. This means that while paths in the configuration file can use parameters such as %USERPROFILE% when the configuration file is being used with the YADE Client, it is generally necessary to use absolute paths when the configuration file is to be used for JITL jobs.
Advanced Configuration
Key File Authentication

A first attachment for, for example, SSH would be configured in the XML settings file by specifying an AuthenticationFile element in the SSHAuthentication element.
