I call an external HTTP API endpoint from the inside our comapny's network. I use Oracle APEX function:
apex_web_service.make_rest_request
(p_url => l_url
,p_http_method => 'POST'
,p_body => request_body_v
,p_transfer_timeout => 10
,p_proxy_override => 'my-domain\my-user:my-password@proxy.my-domain.local');
How can I store securely my-user and my-password and refer to them in p_proxy_override parameter? Want to avoid to put it in clear text.
If I use 'my-domain\my-user:my-password@proxy.my-domain.local' in clear text then I get response but this unacceptable for security reasons Where/how can I store these credentials and then refer to them in the p_proxy_parameter?
