Ensuring the security of PI credentials is critical in the Cognite PI extractor.

In the context of Azure Vault, the requirement involves implementing robust measures to safeguard PI access credentials. This entails storing sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, securely in Azure Vault. The system should be configured to read these credentials from the vault when needed, providing a secure and centralized method for managing and accessing PI authentication details. This approach enhances overall data security by minimizing the exposure of sensitive information and adhering to best practices for credential management in cloud environments.

I assume you’re referring to Azure Key Vault?

Support for reading in secrets from Key Vault is a planned feature, but not yet added to the PI extractor. It’s something we are currently working on, and it will first be rolled out to the DB and File extractor before we add it to OPC UA and PI.

Hi @Harsha,

If you would like to track the process of the feature, please feel free to create a product idea in Hub. As of now, I will close this thread. If you have more questions, please feel free to add a comment here.
