Hi Dojo,
I would like to ask a question related to ad-hoc data source. We are currently building an ad-hoc data source that retrieves data from an endpoint exposed by a DMS (using User Definable API).
Since we need to use a token to retrieve data from this endpoint, we need to store it somewhere.
For testing purposes we are hardcoding the token in the ad-hoc data source. However, on production environments we must avoid that. What are you recommendation for this use case?
Is it enough if we put the token in a plain-text file so the ad-hoc data source can read it? or should we still encrypt this file? Another option?
Thanks!
Hi,
I think your question can be extended to the more general question ‘how to securely use secrets in automation scripts’ and I think this has somewhat been answered in this thread.
The conclusion from that thread is that it’s currently not possible to securely use secrets like you would in connectors. However, you can try the workarounds proposed in the thread as well as support this feature suggestion.
Hi Seppe,
Thanks for the information. I will have a look at the feature suggestion
