Credentials and configuration handling

Understand what is read locally, removed, delivered and retained for retry.

Where credentials go

Vendor credentials authenticate to the device or vendor service. ConfigProof receives the workspace token and collected configuration, not your vendor sign-in credentials.

Local processing

Supported password, private-key and secret fields are removed locally. Rules vary by vendor format; parsing or redaction failures can stop collection. Follow the result message.

  • Device identity and required operational data may accompany configuration.
  • Manager bundles can contain several devices or API responses.
  • Saved undelivered files are processed locally but still need restricted access.
