Password Management Admin Page

EDG can store passwords for accessing external systems such as a database, SPARQL endpoint, or another EDG instance. A password entry has a user, URL, password, and an optional scope in which the password can be used. The scope is the graph ID for a collection, or global if the scope is left blank.

Users with privileges to view the Password Management page can add, delete, or edit the password entries stored in the EDG secure storage. The Add New Password button allows the user to add a password, and, when an entry is selected, the user can change the password for that entry or click the x to delete that entry. If the user id, scope, or URL changes for a given entry, the password must be re-entered.

The EDG secure storage is defined upon initial setup and is a password protected encrypted file.
