Password Management Admin Page

TQ Data Foundation can store passwords for accessing external systems such as a database, SPARQL endpoint, or another Data Foundation instance. A password entry has a user, URL, password, and an optional scope in which the password can be used.

Common scope values:

• urn:x-evn-master:system_config for system configuration values managed by an administrator user

• urn:x-evn-master:product_config for product configuration values managed by a power user

• Other asset collection URIs starting with urn:x-evn-master: for secrets scoped to a particular asset collection, managed by the collection’s manager

• A blank scope indicates legacy administrator settings

Users with privileges to view the Password Management page can add, delete, or edit the password entries stored in the Data Foundation secure storage. The Add New Password button allows the user to add a password, and, when an entry is selected, the user can change the password for that entry or click the x to delete that entry. If the user id, scope, or URL changes for a given entry, the password must be re-entered.

The Data Foundation secure storage is defined upon initial setup. Depending on configuration, it is stored in a password protected encrypted file or in an enterprise secrets management system.
