Qlik Replicate allows using password provider for all the secret / password fields. The value in these fields is always masked and is encrypted.
There is no way to know if an endpoint is using the password provider addon or not. This is quite confusing for maintenance of the endpoints.
I would like to request and enhancement to indicate in the Replicate / QEM UI if the endpoint is using a password provider addon. It would be great if the parameters to the password provider are not masked and are shown plaintext.
One way of implementing this is:
Provide a checkbox to use password provider if it is configured for Replicate
If 'Use password provider' is checked, disable the 'Password' textbox and enable the 'Password provider' textbox
allow users to enter the parameters to password provider. 'lookup::' should not be needed as the checkbox is differentiating whether password provider is needed
The values in password provider are not needed to be masked or encrypted
