Saving credentials for sql connection

[ricomnl]

I'm looking to run a workflow in nf-tower that accesses a Postgres DB. When I run it locally I store the credentials in the nextflow config. Is there a way to securely store them somewhere in nf-tower to initiate my workflow?

Hi @rmeinl ,

Thanks for reaching out with this feature request, I'm happy to note that we have started to work on a generic credential management feature within Tower and the it is scheduled for a EA release in early 2022.

We'll keep you posted in case we have further updates/questions regarding the user experience and expectations.

For the time being, storing these creds in the config file/param file are the simplest (possibly only) solution.

Thanks @abhi18av ! Feel free to reach out if I can help in any way regarding the use case description etc.
