Handle Gui User Password

[humaxel74]

Hi Community,

I just wanted to know how you handle the SAP GUI Credentials, not storing the Password in clear Text in a string.

What are your leading practices ? Is there a way to encrypt the Password in SAP Build PA and hand it over via parameter?

I use custom script with environment variables. You can set up variable of type password instead of string.

irpa_core.core.shellexec(`sapshcut.exe`, `-system=` + system + ` -client=` + client + ` -user=` + user + ` -pw=` + password + ` -language=` + language);

I usually use Destinations for handling passwords - you usually dont want passwords in source code - remeber, that source code are usually handled by git.

I use Windows Credential Manager to store the required usernames and passwords, and then call them in automation using the "Get Local Agent Credentials" activity.
