3644189 - Connection credentials fields are blank after re-opening the editing screen in Datasphere

Symptom

After you fill the fields "username" and "password" in the connection's Credentials section, save, close the window and open it again, you will notice that both fields are blank.

Environment

  • SAP Datasphere

Cause

The system is behaving as expected.

Resolution

All confidential information (like Username, Password, etc.) will not be read from frontend and will be shown blank, so that it can not be exploited. Data remains in backend and will still be used wherever required.

This is done to prevent unauthorized users from potentially accessing or exploiting these credentials, even if they gain access to the connection's edit screen.
