Best Practice to Store Encryption Key Passphrases and Passwords in OneStream

Hi,

Are there any suggestions regarding best practices to store encryption key passphrases and SFTP passwords in OneStream, for usage by integrations ? How should those be stored ? We are using cloud version of OneStream.

BR,

    For things executed inside the platform (Extenders etc), you can use BRApi.Utilities.EncryptText and .DecryptText to manage crypted values. Where you'd want to store them is left to you; a pretty clean way could be to have your own custom "Secrets" table.

    For anything else, you'll have to talk to Support to discuss possible options.

       BRApi.Utilities.EncryptText isn't encryption though - it's a BASE64 encode......

        Looks like  BRApi.Utilities.EncryptText() has now been updated to something more secure than BASE64! in the last 3 weeks!
