Credentials Vault

The Credentials Vault is a module within the Nintex Process Discovery platform used to manage login credentials for systems that Nintex Process Discovery ’s components needs to access. Passwords are stored securely using data encryption.

The Credentials Vault enables administrators to utilize the required credentials for any operation without hard coding specific passwords into configuration files and without exposing credentials to unauthorized parties.

Architecture

Credentials Vault data is saved in an encrypted format to a local file:

• server.keys – stores usernames and encrypted passwords for all relevant components (e.g. database credentials, message broker credentials and more)

• pddr.keys - stores username and its encrypted password to use for the server connection
