Lookup Password

This action retrieves a user password from the Password store and stores it in a variable. This step action is designed to use sensitive information without disclosing it. You can store the retrieved password in a password type variable and use it in a Robot.

Before you can retrieve password information, the Management Console administrator must create a Password access entry in the Management Console with your access token. To obtain the token, in Design Studio, navigate to Help > About and copy the token from the Design Studio Access Token section. Then share the copied token with the administrator.

Important Every time you upload your robot or any of its components, such as types, snippets, and so on to the Management Console, a new Password access entry must be created for the robot. Previous entries are kept in the Password Access list and the administrator can delete them manually.

Properties

The Lookup Access action can be configured using the following properties:

User Name
Specifies the name of the user to get a password for.
Target System

Specifies the external system to get a password for. The value you type in this filed must match the value in the Target System property of the Password entry.

Note The target systems can be configured by an administrator to provide passwords for the same user on different systems, such as production, pre-production, and development. The Target System can also be used to partition the access to different parts of virtual machines if customers have a credit checking automation in one partition and an accounting summarization in another partition.
Variable
Name of the Password type variable to store the retrieved password.
