Storing passwords in the .app file
To pass passwords as action parameters, use smart parameters that retrieve credentials from the .app file where the passwords are stored as encoded strings.
About this task
You can use smart parameters in a key path to access the passwords for the Datacap Connector actions. See Reference passwords, connection strings, and other parameters from your actions for information about storing action parameters in the .app file.
Procedure
To store passwords in the .app file:
- In the Start menu click IBM Datacap Services Datacap Application Manager.
- Click the Custom values tab and select your application from the list in the left pane.
- Under the Advanced values field, press Add new.
- Enter the password name in the Value name field. Create a logical password name for your system, such as FileNet P8 password.
- Enter the password in the Value field.
- Close the Application Manager.
- Access the password in the action by using the key path for the password, @APPVAR(values/adv/<value name>). For example, if the value name of the password is FileNet P8 password, the key path is @APPVAR(values/adv/<FileNet P8 password>).
