Add-on Builder v.4.0.0 not saving field values on UI

[danielcj]

Hi,

I created an app using the Add-on Builder v.4.0.0 to use custom Alert Actions on Splunk. I created two Add-on Setup parameters: username and password.

When I enter the information on these fields and click on the "Save" button, it seems that these information were not saved (no UI changes) and if I close and re-open the UI some fields are not filled. This same app was working on the previous version of the Add-on Builder and the fields were being filled. However, it seem that this info is being saved on the .conf files.

In the attachment there is a screenshot with the "password" field not being filled when I re-opened the UI screen. Could someone help me? I am using Splunk version 8.2.1 and tried with different web browsers. Thanks.

I think it is proper way of handling credentials.  Bcoz password are stored encrypted in conf file and if in any case you want to display, you can't display cleared text passwords. It is not bestway to do it and in case  you display 6 stars (******) or 8 stars (********) it doesn't make any sense (as the password field type is encrypted, refer GlobalConfig.json and supported python file in bin folder.). 

As per my understanding and expectations, if any setting page having credentials should display the username but not the Password as Security and Confidentiality point of view. 

Conclusion: If your values are storing properly in conf file and you are able to get the values in Alert to process  a logic then your TA is working fine 🙂

Thanks
