YADE Parameter Reference - CredentialStoreFragments

References

• Schema: CredentialStoreFragment, CredentialStoreFragment
• Mapping:
  • use_credential_store

Notes

This element includes the parameters for access to a secure store with credentials for file transfer operations.

If you want to store secure access data, i.e. account, password, SSH key, database connection strings, in an encrypted database, then configure access to a CredentialStore accordingly.

A CredentialStore is a KeePass database that stores secure access data. Such credentials can be referenced from YADE configuration items instead of being exposed in plain text.

Any number of CredentialStores can be configured. They are distinguished by their name attribute. References to a CredentialStore use the value of the name attribute to identify the respective CredentialStore.

Use by configuration items

Credentials can be referenced from a CredentialStore by the following configuration items:

• BasicAuthentication: Account, Password
• SSHAuthentication: Account, Password, AuthenticationFile, Passphrase
• BasicConnection: Hostname, Port
• URLConnection: URL

Any number of credential store fragments can be configured and are distinguished by YADE according to their name attribute.

A fragment is referenced by a transfer Profile using the value of the CredentialStoreFragmentRef ref attribute.

Support for KeePass versions 1 and 2.

Note: Availability starting with YADE-464.

Referencing CredentialStore fields.

Note: Availability starting with YADE-481.

Referencing a field in the CredentialStore is effected by the following syntax:

        cs://[entry_path]@entry_field

where

• cs://         is a constant prefix that is used by YADE to identify this setting to be a reference to a CredentialStore.
• entry_path      specifies the path to an entry within the CredentialStore database. Folders (groups) within a path are separated by a slash "/". This setting is optional. If ommitted then the value of the CSEntryPath configuration item is used.
• entry_field          is one of the standard fields available in a CredentialStore:
  • title
  • user
  • password
  • url
  • notes
  • attachment
  or the custom fields.

<Hostname> element:

• Usage like the examples below.
• If the entry field value is defined with host:port, YADE sets the <Hostname> and <Port> automatically.

Examples

• Examples for fully specified entry path:
  • <Domain>, <Hostname>, <Account>, <Password>, <Passphrase> elements:
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@title
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@user
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@password
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@url
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@notes
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@my_custom_field
  • <AuthenticationFile> element:
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@attachment - the first attachment
    • cs://sos/mft_server/srv001@my_custom_field - a specified attachment
• Examples without fully specified entry path:
  • <Domain>, <Hostname>, <Account>, <Password>, <Passphrase> elements:
    • cs://@title
    • cs://@user
    • cs://@password
    • cs://@url
    • cs://@notes
    • cs://@my_custom_field
  • <AuthenticationFile> element:
    • cs://@attachment - the first attachment
    • cs://@my_custom_field - a specified attachment
