Data Gateways credentials

Data Gateways credentials can be used in any Data Gateways configuration that requires authenticated access to a database or HTTP endpoint. In addition to this, a Data Gateways credential must be created to store the SQL server user account that provides the Data Gateways engine with access to the database.

Credentials that use the Data Gateways credential type are only accessible by the application server when generating Data Gateway configurations – they cannot be used in standard Blue Prism processes or other Blue Prism elements such as web API definitions.
