I was trying to build an add-on using splunk add-on builder. We need to use api key to authenticate into a third party service. The question is how does splunk add-on builder store password? I created a password field and saw that the password.conf in local folder is being updated. Does this mean that password fields are encrypted and stored in password.conf?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Yes, the PWs are stored in local passwords.conf file in the app using the "splunk.secret" encryption seed. You can manually decrypt them like this:
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk show-decrypted --value 'YourPasswordHere'
