Customize – RPA Credentials Storage

Robot authentication credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager (Vault). Change this default behavior to a customer provided Credential Manager or Vault.

To customize the default behavior:

1. Implement the below interface which is a part of “Utilities.Interfaces.dll” by entering a customer specific implementation.
    

   public interface IRoboCredManager { /// <summary> /// Save credentials /// </summary> /// <param name=”userName”>Username</param> /// <param name=”password”>Password</param> /// <param name=”targetName”>Robot Id</param> /// <param name=”authType”>Authentication type</param> /// <returns> /// True, if successful /// </returns> bool SaveCredentials(string userName, string password, string targetName, string authType); /// <summary> /// Fetch credentials /// </summary> /// <param name=”targetName”>Robot Id</param> /// <returns>Dictionary containing following keys /// “UserName”, “Password” and “AuthenticationType” /// </returns> Dictionary<string, string> GetCredentials(string targetName);

2. Modify the below key from RoboSE.exe.config and RPAAgentView.exe.config by entering a new DLL with class name which has the new implementation of the above interface.
   

   <addkey=”CredentialManager” value=”ExtendedRoboCredManager.dll,RoboCredManagerExtended”/>

2. Stop & release all the agents/robots. Setup the Agent again and sign-in in the robots. Save the applications credentials. Re-start the agents/robots.
