You can create secret references to store secrets at a central place in Connectivity Studio. Wherever you need a secret in Connectivity Studio, you can use a secret reference.
Benefits of using secret references are:
One place to maintain secrets. For example, you can use a secret in several connectors. If the secret expires, you only update the secret reference instead of updating the secret separately for each applicable connector.
When you use a secret reference, the secret is not shown or visible where the secret is applied. The secret is also not visible when you export or import project configurations.
You can use secret references for:
Azure storage setup (Connectivity Studio parameters)
Database connector
Azure file storage connector
File actions (Azure file storage connector)
Blob storage connector
SharePoint connector
Service Bus queue connector
Web service application (Project)
Web service action attributes
Note
You can only use secret references if the the Display secret field of the Connectivity studio parameters is set to 'Secret reference' or 'Both'.
