Encrypting String Configuration values in Component

[JaeHwanChoi]

Hello KNIME team and users!

I’m trying to create a Component with the hostname and account information of the current DB Connector as String Configuration.

I want to automatically encrypt the String Configuration corresponding to the PassWord of the account information as shown in the figure below, no matter what value is entered, such as ‘*******’, is there any way?

Your answer would be appreciated.

Hey @JaeHwanChoi,

I don’t now the exact solution on how to encrypt the input in the string configuration. But in your use case you can just use the Credentials Configuration I guess.

This node creates a credential flow variable which you can then select in your database connector.
