sometimes need to provide authentication to an external site. In order to provide a username and/or password securely,

Configure 

  - a secret key, which defines the public name and points to

  - a local secret. This is a PhixFlow item that stores encrypted data in the PhixFlow database.

In order to provide a password securely:

1. Create a local secret that contains the password
2. Create a secret key that "points to" the local secret
3. In the HTTP collector expression, specify the secret key name.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

When you run analysis

PhixFlow then finds the secure credentials in the keystore and provides them to authenticate to the external site.
