When I use the rest outbound connector and choose basic authentiaction, I need to add a username/password in the modeler. This password is visible in Camunda Operate when troubleshooting and checking the variables.
Is there a way to hide or mask these passwords in operate?
Camunda secrets are designed to avoid exposing sensitive information such as credentials. They are meant to be used with connectors and are not revealed/replaced to the process engine. Instead, a secret is meant to be used in the connector only, so secrets will not appear in operate. As they are replaced in the runtime only.
