    Hi @sudhakar_Y 

     

    There is no dedicated feature in PAD for storing credentials as of now - but some other approaches you can try is 

    1. Using azure key vault- something simmilar you can refer here- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/environmentvariables-azure-key-vault-secrets

     

    2. using credential manager in windows to store credential and retriving it via powershell script invoked in PAD

     

    3. Another approach i could think of is - storing encrypted format of credentials in some location and while retreiving the value- decrypt it, this can be done using cryptographic actions (I haven't tried, but this idea came when i thought around, but worth giving a try !)

     

     

     

    @Deenuji  any additional thoughts on this as per your experience ?
