Credentials

Overview

Choose Credentials from the Main toolbar to access the Credentials section.

In this section you can configure your Credentials used for BASIC and BEARER authentication types in the Resources tab of App Studio.

Note: For an HTTP resource, the authentication type and credential type must be the same. For example, in an HTTP resource with BASIC authentication type, only BASIC credential types are available.

New credential - Basic

You can create and edit multiple credentials for your app. To create a Basic type credential:

• Select the + Add new button.
• By default, Type BASIC is selected.
• Enter the required properties:
  • Name for the credential.
  • Username
  • Password

New credential - Bearer

You can create and edit multiple credentials for your app. To create a Bearer type credential:

• Select the + Add new button.
• Select Type BEARER.
• Enter the properties:
  • Name for the credential. Required.
  • Token endpoint. Required.
  • Client Id. Required.
  • Client secret. Required.
  • Scope. Optional.

Use of parameters in credentials

You can use parameters in the following fields when creating a credential:

• Username
• Password
• Token endpoint
• Client Id
• Client secret
• Scope

To use a parameter, you can:

• Enter the parameter manually using the format: {{parameters.parameterName}}.
• Display the Templating dropdown by selecting the Plus (+) button and choosing the desired parameter from the options.

IMPORTANT: You cannot use Liquid operations in any of the credential's fields.

Edit and deleting a credential

To edit a credential, select the Edit button and then save or cancel your changes.

To permanently delete a credential, select the three dots menu and then Delete.

Note: Apps using these credentials that are edited or deleted may stop working. Review the correct behaviour of your app when you edit or delete a credential being used by one or more resources.
