  • 1.  Retrieve Stored password using context variable

    Posted Dec 26, 2018 10:28 AM

    Hi All,

     

    Can you please help me, how to retrieve the stored passwords which are saved in manage stored password dynamically using context variable.

    I tried using following way, which doesn't provided with the value for the username.

    ${secpass.${username}.plaintext}

     

    As i need to pass the password dynamically depending on the username which i receive.

     

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hello,

     

    First, make sure you have checked the box for 'Permit use via context variable reference' when creating the stored password. To look this up dynamically:

     

    1) Create the stored password

     

    2) Add a 'Look Up Context Variable assertion where the variable ${user} is set to the stored password name

     

    3) Reference the output of this assertion, ie: ${lookup.output}

     

     

     

    This will display the password for the user specified.

     

    Regards,

    Joe

    Sample attached, just replace the username variable with an appropriate stored password name in your environment.
