Comprehensive, centralized way to store published parameter passwords used by multiple workspaces in FME Server?
I am running multiple workspaces that have the same published parameters that are passwords. Is there centralized way to store published parameter passwords that are used by multiple workspaces?
I can't find anything in the documentation about how to do this.
unfortunately this is not the case for published parameter even password type and they are quite easy to reveal.
There are several ways to accomplish that for example a centralized file containing passwords that is read via a startup python script.
I am sure other users have other ideas and experiences to share.
Hope this helps
Yes-You've suggested a decent work around that I hadn't thought of. It would definitely be possible for me to grab passwords from centralized file via a python script. That being said, I wish there was an easier way.... lol.
What kind of passwords are you referring to.
If it is database connections, FME stores these in a connection file outside the FMW file.
They are references by connection name, so the username, password and database name are not stored in the FME file.
Basically, I'm looking for a centralized way to pass published job parameter passwords to scheduled jobs on FME server......
My apologies for not being more clear in my question.
