As industries become increasingly cloud-dependent, the traditional model of local data access is rapidly giving way to remote storage and services. With that shift comes a new challenge: securely accessing cloud-based data and services through code. Credential management – especially when balancing automation with security – is anything but straightforward.
While JMP continues to lead in usability and innovation, one aspect that remains somewhat opaque is how credentials are handled under the hood. A prime example is the API key used for programmatic access to JMP Live – a powerful feature, but one that is specific to JMP with no ability for user-specific keys.
In this presentation, I walk through a proof-of-concept infrastructure that enables secure credential invocation within a code-driven workflow. Using test code provided by JMP Support, and JMPs built-in JSL encryption, we explore how to build a secrets management layer that maintains robust security without sacrificing flexibility.
Whether you're working toward automating JMP workflows or simply looking to deepen your understanding of secure integrations, this session provides a practical, example-driven look at a rarely discussed – yet increasingly critical – aspect of JMP in the modern data landscape.
