Hello All,i am new to PAD, may i know what are ways to store/handle credentials in PAD?
Thanks in advance
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 ?
