18.6.1 About Credentials
Use Credentials to connect to REST Enabled SQL or other external REST services. Oracle Application Express securely stores and encrypts these credentials for use by Application Express components. Credentials cannot be retrieved back in clear text. Credentials are stored at the workspace-level and therefore are visible in all applications.
Exporting and Importing Credentials
When you export an application, used credentials are added to the export file. When you import the application into another workspace, Application Express checks whether the target workspace already contains credentials with the same static ID. If a credential already exists, the application uses it. Otherwise the credential from the import file is created in the target workspace.
