Credential Vault

The credential vault is used to hold user IDs, secret keys, passwords and other information used to access external services from rules.

The main benefit from using the vault is that rule writers have no exposure to any of those account details, and it also avoids sensitive data being stored as clear text.

Each set of credentials in the vault is installed at the same time as the rules themselves are installed via an extension.

The following shows sample credentials for the Kapow SMS service:

By default, passwords are hidden and user IDs visible. You can manually hide the user IDs as well by clicking the Hide Value button. However, please note that there is no "unhide" feature.

Credentials stored in the credential vault are automatically sent to the X Engine when a configuration is deployed.
