- 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.
- 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 requires the use of a standard open database format (
.kdbor.kdbx), which allows the use of graphical and API interfaces across the most relevant operating systems.
Scope
This article is in two parts:describes the use of the Credential Store 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 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.
Feature Summary
The Credential Store provides the following features:
...
.
...
- Configuration information can be centrally managed outside of a file transfer environment.
...
- The same file transfer configuration file can be used for development and production environments - only the Credential Store needs to be changed during deployment.
...
- The Credential Store can be used for the following configuration information:
- file transfer source, target, proxy and jump host / DMZ,
- pre- and post-processing operations.
- The Credential Store can be used for file transfers carried out with both the YADE Client and the JobScheduler JADEJob and JADE4DMZJob JITL jobs.
