S-112056 Community (NOC ONLY) - PBS/N-OC Export: Remove User Passwords from Manual XML Export File
Description
To improve data security, passwords are no longer displayed in plain text within N-OC export files by default.
Redacted by Default: Passwords will now output as asterisks (e.g., ******************) to protect sensitive credentials, as shown in image
New Configuration Option: We have introduced a new ShowNOCPassword setting in the PbsSettings.xml file to give you control over this behavior.
Managing the Setting: This setting defaults to "Disabled" (passwords remain redacted). If your organization's workflow specifically requires plain text passwords in the export file, an administrator can change this setting to "Enabled".
Acceptance Criteria
GIVEN an ALC admin who has NOC integrations
WHEN viewing the NOC export file and the ALC has ShowNOCPassword set to Disabled
THEN the password will be redacted in the NOC export file
GIVEN an ALC admin who has NOC integrations
WHEN viewing the NOC export file and the ALC has ShowNOCPassword set to Enabled
THEN the password will not be redacted in the NOC export file
