Context password

Context password credentials support the same policy parameters as password credentials (see Password).

The key distinguishing parameter for context passwords is storage, which is also available for regular password credentials but is particularly relevant for context passwords:

storage​

  • Data type: String
  • Values: hash, encrypt
  • Default: hash

Determines how the context password value is stored in the database. If set to hash, the hash value of the context password will be saved, just like for password credentials. If set to encrypt, a configured encryption algorithm is used — this allows the plain value to be retrieved for custom authentication comparisons.
