Path of ExternalConfig.properties file

[avinash_16]

Greetings,

We are importing a JAR File for a custom functionality enhancement which makes some API calls. Rather than hardcoding the encrypted credentials in the JAR itself; I have stored the encrypted credentials in the externalconfig.properties file. The logic to fetch these credentials and decoding it happens within the jar but I need the path of the externalconfig.properties file so that while on execution, the jar would be able to fetch these credentials from the properties file. Kindly respond as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Instead of externalconfig.properties use datafiles to store property file path is 

/saviynt_shared/saviynt/Import/Datafiles/

Hi @rushikeshvartak . Thanks for the reply but one question, does the .properties extension be accepted by saviynt? If not, do we need to add the extension in the externalconfig.properties file?

accepted. we pushed file from API. else you can use .csv

Hi @avinash_16 @rushikeshvartak , which method is preferable for encryption and decryption to be used?

[rushikeshvartak]

For a custom jar, AES with CBC or GCM mode is often the best choice for symmetric encryption due to its balance of security and performance. For asymmetric encryption, RSA is widely used and supported.

@rushikeshvartak , if you can share a sample code used in custom jar .. it will be much appreciated.

Thanks
