Chapter 7 Configuring Advanced Topics : Password Handling

Password Handling
At design-time, the adapter uses a password to connect to the backend application and fetch metadata. At runtime, the adapter uses a password to connect to the back-end application and interoperate with it.
If you plan to run the adapter locally, define the runtime password value to be a global variable. Before starting the adapter, include the runtime password as client variable in the adapter's .tra file and obfuscate it using obfuscate tool. For example, if the password value is defined as %%myPassword%%, create a global variable named myPassword in the global variables section with no value and include the following entry in the adapter's .tra file:
tibco.clientVar.myPassword
If you plan to deploy the adapter using TIBCO Administrator 5.1, check the Service property of the global variable in the global variables section. Before deploying the adapter, go to the Advanced tab of the adapter archive and set the password value under the Runtime Variables section.
Do not set the password to type Password in the global variables section for Version AE Version 4.0 or AE Version 5.0 or any intermediate version.
