Password in the Connectors (Database, REST) how is it protected by Saviynt

[necoutinho]

Hi Team,

We wanted to understand that the password stored in the connectors, how are they protected during the connection establishment. Is it encrypted/hashed. Can you share some reference link

The passwords are stored in the encrypted format using the bcrypt alogorithm.

Do we have any reference link where we can read about this

Hi @necoutinho - A search of the docs portal brings us a few articles:
https://docs.saviyntcloud.com/search?q=bcrypt

[necoutinho]

Could not find any articles around it

No we do not have any external facing document for the same. But I have got confirmation as below from the PM Team:

1. For storing the service account password in the connector we are using AES algorithm.

2. And for storing the user credentials, that Saviynt uses to authenticate users locally, we use bcrypt hashing algorithm.
