Passing Passwords as property value to authentication profile
I am using connect-HTTP rule with basic authentication and would need to pass the username and password as property value from activity. I tried with passing pagename.propertyname for username but on click of set password button and passing pagename.propertyname, it throws error like it is unauthorized.
Any help on how to pass property value as password to auth profile?

What is the the type of property which is holding the password value?
Have you tried 'password' type property to hold the password value?

Hi Adithya,
Tried giving password type as property type, even though it encrypts the property value still when the value is passed to the auth profile, it again encrypts and decrypts the value.

What version of Pega are you using?
Please try putting an equals sign at the beginning of what you put into the password field, like this:
=MyPage.MyProperty

it is 7.1.9 version.
Yes tried giving the same format on click of set password, still facing the same issue. I guess when given this format, it is encrypting the =MyPage.MyProperty instead of the property value which is passed. Not sure though

Yes, it must encode " =MyPage.MyProperty" because this is design time, not runtime.
When using this syntax you are expecting MyPage.MyProperty to be visible to the thread that is reading the password.
As far as I know, Pega 7.1.9 is able to handle this situation. You should make sure that your page is populated when it would be read for authentication.

The page is populated and i could see the value on runtime. Also i am passing the same page for passing my username and it is working fine when passed with syntax =Pagename.Propertyname with password hardset. The issue is when i pass the syntax in the password field.
