I have made a vault using these commands:

mqsivault test --vaultrc-store-key --vault-key myvaultkey --vaultrc-location /var/mqsi

mqsivault test --create --vaultrc-location /var/mqsi

mqsistart test --vault-key myvaultkey

and then create creadentials of type ODBC on Node level and server level, using these commands 

mqsicredentials test -e testeg --create --credential-name testdb --credential-type odbc --username test --password test

mqsicredentials test  --create --credential-name testdbnode --credential-type odbc   --vault-key myvaultkey --username user1 --password user1

I've verified my credentials using these commands:

mqsicredentials test -e testeg --report --vault-key myvaultkey

The credential name 'testdb' of type 'odbc' contains user name 'test' from provider 'servervault' and has the following properties defined: 'password', authentication type 'basic'.

 mqsicredentials test --report --vault-key myvaultkey

BIP15110I: The credential name 'testdbnode' of type 'odbc' contains user name 'user1' from provider 'nodevault' and has the following properties defined: 'password', authentication type 'basic'.

Do these changes in server config file:

Credentials:

  userRetrievableCredentialTypes: 'ALL' 

and trying to access these credentials using this code

                                                 String username;

                                                 char[] password;

                                                  MbCredential myCred;

                                                  try {

                                                  myCred = MbCredential.getCredential("ODBC", "testdb ");

                                                  if(myCred == null) {

                                                                  throw new RuntimeException("Credentials not found");

                                                                  }

                                                 Map<String, char[]> credentialsProperties =  myCred.reloadAndRetrieveProperties();

                                                  if (credentialsProperties.containsKey(MbCredential.PASSWORD)) {

                                                                  password =credentialsProperties.get(MbCredential.PASSWORD);

                                                                  }

                                                  }catch(MbCredentialDeletedException cde) {

                                                  password = null;

                                                }catch (MbException e) {

                                                                throw new RuntimeException("Error during credetials lookup", e);

                                                }

But myCred is getting null value. Am i missing something?

this is actually the same code as recommeded by IBM on this page:

Accessing credentials from user Java code

Hi Saad,

I think from the steps you've listed what you've followed is 99% correct.

I think why it's not working is down to this line of code:

  MbCredential.getCredential("ODBC", "testdb ");

I believe the credential type needs to be lower case, so "odbc", which would be a doc defect for us to fix. Then it also looks like you have a space in the credential name after testdb and before the double quotes.

Please can you try making those adjustments and see if the code then works.

Thanks

David
