Unified Application Management: Shell Apps Secure Variables
Nerdio Manager allows you to manage Global Secure Variables. These secure variables can be passed to scripted actions or shell apps. The variables are stored securely in the Azure Key Vault and can be passed to scripted actions using the $SecureVar.Variable_Name variable name.
Tip: This feature is especially helpful if you want to pass sensitive information to a scripted action without passing it via clear text.
