Credentials Manager Process Flow:
During ZebraTester script execution, this plugin will run and retrieve the encrypted credentials using Apica’s ASM API, which is encrypted at rest and during transport. The plugin will decrypt the credentials using the specified encryption algorithm and preset, unique, symmetric key (assigned or designated by the customer) and only stored in the memory during the session.

Installing the Credentials Manager Plugin
Step | Information | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Mandatory: Create an Entry (a new custom dictionary) | First, create the encrypted credentials entry into Apica’s ASM API by running the jar version of the plugin from a command line to open GUI.
Key:Value pair(s) will be created as a result.
| ||||
2. Add the Credentials Manager plugin into ZebraTester | By adding the .class as a plugin to your ZebraTester Script and then passing in the ASM_API_Url, ASM_API_AuthTicket, dictionary_key, shared_secret, and key as an index parameter, you can fetch the encrypted value, which the plugin will decrypt at execution rather than having that value hard-coded into the script as plaintext. |
