Script keys

If you are using a DevWeb script that includes encrypted data, you can create a script key in OpenText Core Performance Engineering that includes the encryption key and link it to the script. This enables you to run the script without having to expose the encryption key within the script itself.

For details on encrypting data in DevWeb scripts, see Encode sensitive data in the DevWeb Help Center.
