Best way to store credentials in ServiceNow for discovery uses

[Amit_H]

I know we can store the credential on discovery credential table, do we have any alternative way to store it? if yes what is the best practice to store it.

Hi @Amit_H ,

If your client agree to provide the credentials then place it in discovery credential table or if they have concern putting it in ServiceNow then you can use third party to store the credentials and make use of them during discovery. You can use tool like Cyber Ark vault.
