The "Password Safe" (CS Credential Store ) offers possibilities to store encrypted connection data and any other data securely and interdependently 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 version 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 information/parameters) in to standardized , 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 retrieved from CS's standard fields
