- The first part describes the use of the Credential Store in a relatively simple example file transfer configuration. The configuration described can be used to transfer files from a live server and a download containing the cofniguration configuration file is available so that users can get a working Credential Store up, running and tested as easily as possible.
- The second part of the article describes Credential Store configuration elements not covered by the example configuration. In addition, the use of the Credential Store in with the JobScheduler YADE JITL jobs is described
...
The example presented in this article illustrates the configuration and use of the Credential Store in two as part of a simple file transfer operations:operation - downloading files from an online server to the user's local file system
...
.
Each The configuration is stored in an XML settings file that can then file and includes the elements specifying the Credential store and the file transfer as a whole. This settings file can be used by both the YADE Client and by the YADE JITL jobs that are provided with the JobScheduler.
The simple downloading from an online server example operation described in this article is based on the simple file transfer example that is described in detail in The YADE Client Command Line Interface - Tutorial 1 - Getting Started article. The This tutorial describes the configuration required to download a number of files from an online server provided by the SOS GmbH and save these files on the user's local file system. Using this server together with the downloaded configuration file means that users can get a working example up and running with a minimum of effort. A simplified version of the configuration used in the tutorial (only specifying transfer by FTP) is available as a download: sos-berlin_demo_2_local.xml.
In the current example, the Credential Store is to store configuration information for the online server - i.e. for the file transfer source. The principle described can be equally well used for the configuration of multiple file transfer source, target, proxy and jump-host servers and for the other file transfer protocols that can be used by the YADE Client.
Note that a YADE Client

or JobScheduler Master is required to carry out the example file transfer. Instructions for installing and configuring the YADE Client can be found in the YADE - Tutorials article. Instructions for installing and configuring the JobScheduler can be found in the JobScheduler Master - Installation Guide series of articles.

Configuration Procedure for the Example
Installing the Credential Store and configuring the KeePass database
KeePass 2, which is just one of the applications available for creating and configuring .kdb or .kdbx databases, has been used in the current article to implement the Credential Store database and is used in the screenshots. The installation and use of KeePass 2 is described on the KeePass Web Site.
