Encryption

Encryption for a branch​

Encryption is the safest way to store key values.

You can encrypt the following key values in the database:

  • Web connection: Password, bearer token, API key, client certificate password
  • File storage locations: Client secret, Secret access key, SAS token, Password
  • Email providers: Client secret, API key, Password
  • OAuth servers: Client secret
3-TIER ONLY

Encryption is only available in a 3-tier setup, where the Software Factory and IAM are used in the Universal GUI. It is not available for the Software Factory and IAM for the 2-tier Windows or Web GUIs because it requires Indicium support and configuration.

Enable encryption​

3-tier Software Factory in the Universal GUI

To store encrypted key values in the database:

  1. Configure encryption in Indicium for the platform you are using. For more information, see:

  2. In the Software Factory for Universal GUI, go to the menu Models > Model overview > tab Branches.

  3. When you add a file storage location, email provider, or OAuth server, a popup automatically appears where you can enter the required key values.

warning

For security reasons, change your key values before storing them encrypted, as the model history will still contain the unencrypted keys.

In the Model overview, you can see where encryption is used:

menu Integration & AI > Email providers/File storage locations/OAuth servers

  • If the checkbox Encryption used is selected, the values are encrypted.
  • If the checkbox Encryption used is not selected, either the values are not encrypted, or no values are stored in the database.
  • If the values are visible in the form, they have not been encrypted.
  • If the values are not visible in the form, no values have been stored.

Add or change encrypted key values​
