Credentials | Online Help | Qntrl

Credentials

Most databases are secured with credentials to ensure secure access and user authentication while logging in. Credential types vary with databases. Organizations using more than one database might find it difficult to authenticate using the corresponding credentials each time they need to fetch data. To help organizations overcome this challenge, Qntrl provides Credentials.
 
Credentials is a central storage location where all your database credentials can be stored and accessed while initiating a new connection using Connectors.
 
Qntrl currently supports 3 types of credentials namely, API Key, JDBC, and OAuth 2.0.

Benefits of Credentials 

  1. Central storage
  2. Easily configurable
  3. Secure access
