You can store your Veracode API credentials securely in a Veracode API credentials file or in your IDE.
Veracode recommends that you use a
Veracode API credentials file. The plugin uses
these credentials to access Veracode. To store your
Veracode API credentials:
-
Select .
-
Select an option for storing your Veracode API credentials:
- Store credentials in external file: use the
credentials in your Veracode API credentials file. By default, if your
credentials are not currently stored in Eclipse, this option is selected.
Click Test Credentials to verify that your
credentials are valid.
- Store credentials in Eclipse: click
Add Credentials to enter and store your
credentials in Eclipse. By default, if your credentials are currently stored
in Eclipse, this option is selected.
-
Click OK.
-
If you selected to store your credentials, the Veracode Keychain window
opens.
Create a passphrase that Veracode can use as a security key to encrypt your
Veracode credentials before saving them. Veracode uses the passphrase to
create a digest that it stores securely. This digest expires every 12 hours,
after which the plugin prompts you to enter the passphrase for creating a
new digest.
-
Enter your passphrase and, then, confirm your passphrase.

Click Submit.
