Function

Credentials Manager is an Apica ZebraTester plugin that extends the functionality of secure storage and retrieval of credentials or passwords using Apica’s ASM API.

...

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.

Code Block
java -jar CredentialsManager2UtilityTool_vXX.jar

Key:Value pair(s) will be created as a result.

Note
Up to 50 key:value pairs can be used for a single dictionary_key as long as the value doesn’t exceed 1000 characters. Credentials Manager 2 also supports long values over 1000 characters (e.g., private keys or certs) but will reduce the number of keys:value pairs that can be stored to around 5 entries.

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.
