Add Encrypted attributes in the Source so that I can use those in the before and after operation rule

[Yoginder00 (Yoginder Garg)]

Hi Team

I have a requirement to make an additional API call to different system in my before rule and wanted to save those credentials on the source in custom attributes as encrypted. I am not able to find any relevant article.

I tried patching the source with Attributename_CA but its not encrypting those.

Any Suggestions

Hi @Yoginder00 - You’ll need to add the attribute under “connectorAttributes” list and update the "“encrypted” parameter with the newly added attribute name in the source config. Below is the snippet for your referebce.

"connectorAttributes": {
    "Attributename_CA":"value",
    "encrypted": "forestAdminPassword,IQServicePassword,Attributename_CA"
 .....
}

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks @smukhija I figured that out and it worked perfectly, I guess IdentityNow need to do better job documenting it. It took some time to figure out based on their old documentation.

Hey Yoginder!

Can you point me to the specific piece of documentation you feel could be documented better?

[Yoginder00 (Yoginder Garg)]

Web Services Source Configuration Reference Guide - Compass (sailpoint.com)

this documentation is pretty confusing. If there is any other please refer.

I do not have direct access to those Compass docs, but I see at the top it says those docs were replace in favor of these: Integrating SailPoint with Web Services

I’d be curious to know if those updated docs have what you’re hoping to see, or if it is missing there as well.

Oh, But I think the URL you shared @jordan_violet also could be better.
