The "Password Safe" (CS Credential Store ) offerers possibilities to store encrypted connection data and any other data securely and independententlly of application (i.e. JADE). The access to the CS is only possible with Access method such as SSH key or password.
Currently CS is using "KeePass" and "KeePassX" with the db verson 1.0, thus CS can be used on most popular OS platforms.
The advantage of using CS is , that CS store access credentials ( and also other informaition/parameters) in standarized , secure and encrypted database i.e. Keepass. JADE access the CS Database using standard interface. CS Database can only be access using Password, encryption-key file(ppk) or combination of both. CS Password is also used to encrypt contents stored in CS Database with AES.
CS can also be used for securely store information/parameters along side password, Database connection URL, runtime decryption key and other access data.
Following information can be retreived from CS's standard fields
Feature: UserID
The User identifaction of the user who is authorized for the operation.
Feature: Password
Assigned password for the user.
Feature: Server-Name
Target Server-Name or IP-address
Feature: Notes
In "notes" section of the CS other parameters/options can be stored i.e. extra JADE parameters , Database connection URL etc. The extra options are defined similarly as they are defined on the command line.
Feature: File-Attachment
Any file such as PGP file, SSH private key file can be stored in the CS as file attachment. Application will retrieve the attached file on runtime and will delete the file "immediately" once operation is finished.
