Location to store credentials for later use in scripts

[Andrei Radules1]

Hello,

I am using a set of credentials in one of my script so that I can retreive some data.

Is there any place in ServiceNow where I can store these credentials so I can just call them in scripts ?

Best would be if they were a Password 2 field type so I can decrypt them in the script only or a password that I can encode.

I am interested if there is any standard place for storing this sort of intro, I would like to not add any fields or make modifications to other tables.

Any ideas ?

Thank you !

If you have orchestration than use below https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/jakarta-servicenow-platform/page/product/discovery/task/t_CreateCredential.html#t_CreateCredential

Use system properties to store the password.

You can create a system property record of type password/password2.

for more details check the below link:

Hello,

I tried to create a system property password2, the problem is when I try to decrypt it, it does not work, it just returns the encrypted string.

Any ideas ?
