Application Scenarios
This section uses a basic database username and its password as an example to describe how CSMS works.
Figure 1 Secret-based login process
The procedure is as follows:
- Create a secret on the console or via an API to store database information (such as the database address, port, and password).
- Use an application to access the database. CSMS will query the secret you created.
- CSMS retrieves and decrypts the secret ciphertext, and securely returns the information stored in the secret to the application through the secret management API.
- The application obtains the decrypted plaintext secret and uses it to access the database.
