Challenge
To connect external systems like AdServers, DSPs or SSPs to ADvendio, you often have to enter credentials like usernames, passwords or API tokens to these systems and save them within ADvendio.
You don’t want to have all your users being able to see these or access these credentials, so how can you protect these?
...
Solution
Coming with our new version 2.130, all credentials to external systems, which need to be stored in ADvendio, will be automatically encrypted.
...
Go to each of your Connection and Additional Login records
Check the password and additional password fields for password
The encryption string is always 100 digits long, so you should be able to identify if it’s already encrypted or if it’s your login password
For Google AdManager and Display & Video 360: Please use the “Generate Google OAuth Token” button to generate a new login token. During the guided process you will be asked to enter your Google Credentials once.
For Xandr, Smart, Freewheel, Adswizz, Datorama and other:
Copy the password / additional password that is currently entered
Empty out the password / additional password field in Salesforce and save the connection record.
Edit the fields again and paste in the password, which you previously copied. Once you click the save button, the encrypted credentials are saved.
Once done, use the check login button, to see if the connection works
...
Setup
As mentioned above, there a no further steps needed to be done. The encryption will take place automatically as soon you install the latest update of ADvendio.
