I am running multiple workspaces that have the same published parameters that are passwords. Is there centralized way to store published parameter passwords that are used by multiple workspaces?
I can't find anything in the documentation about how to do this.
+26What kind of passwords are you referring to.
If it is database connections, FME stores these in a connection file outside the FMW file.
They are references by connection name, so the username, password and database name are not stored in the FME file.

+18unfortunately this is not the case for published parameter even password type and they are quite easy to reveal.
There are several ways to accomplish that for example a centralized file containing passwords that is read via a startup python script.
I am sure other users have other ideas and experiences to share.
Hope this helps

Basically, I'm looking for a centralized way to pass published job parameter passwords to scheduled jobs on FME server......
My apologies for not being more clear in my question.

Yes-You've suggested a decent work around that I hadn't thought of. It would definitely be possible for me to grab passwords from centralized file via a python script. That being said, I wish there was an easier way.... lol.

It's also a lot more secure.
