I have setup a workflow that uses a username - password combo to log into a system and execute a script per the guest operations plugin. It works fine when i plug in all the details manually.
I am now trying to minimize user input, and i find when i set a default value for the password - type Secure string. the login information does not pass correctly and the job fails.
- Execute job and type password in manually - job works
- Execute job with password default value defined - job fails on authentication
I pulled the rest results for the jobs but the password is obfuscated so i cannot compare the results to see if the string is being manipulated in some way. Is there a known issue with assigning default values for secure strings?
