Introduction:
A Secure Parameter is an encrypted configuration value used to store sensitive data (passwords, API keys, tokens and Client secrets). so, they are not stored or displayed in plain text. Advanced Event Mesh powered by Solace Pubsub+, hence secure parameter follows the same model.
Here in AEM (Advanced Event Mesh) Secure Parameter is a field used as password alias in the Advanced Event Mesh adapter configuration which only works while selecting the authentication type as Basic.
How Secure Parameter Works:
Define the secure parameter once.Advance Event Mesh encrypts it at rest.Reference it by name in the configuration.The actual value is never displayed again.
This can be achieved through below Example.
Navigate to the Monitor section in Integration Suite and click on the Security Material tile
Click on the Create and select Secure Parameter option
After selecting the Secure Parameter, you will find the below fields
Generally, we use name as Username in most of the times for our understanding, we can give any name.
Here Secure Parameter is nothing but the password we get after configuring the Advanced Event Mesh Account, you can use another blog for how to setup the Advanced Event Mesh there you can find the password which is used to connect to the Advanced Event Mesh.
After filling the password and click Deploy the changes will now be available in the Security Material.
We will now use this secure parameter in Advanced Event Mesh. The connection Parameters are same in both Sender and Receiver Adapter.
We need to the select the authentication type as Basic for using the Secure Parameter
Conclusion:
In Summary, Secure Parameters provide a Robust and secure way to handle sensitive credentials such as passwords and secrets without exposing them in Plain text. This blog walked through the end-to-end process from creating a Secure Parameter in the Integration Suite to using it in the Advanced Event Mesh with Basic Authentication highlighting how this approach simplifies credential management while align with Solace Pubsub+ security Standards. Overall, Secure Parameters help enforce best practices for secure configuration and reduce the risk of accidental credential exposure.
