Do you have any solution for this? Any help would be really appreciated.

Obviously WebUI.setEncryptedPassword() does not work for API/Web Service testing.

@Udaya

We are forced to have credentials for some setup that has to be used in web as well as service call.
Its more work for us to go back and update the web test cases which has already completed.

I can sympathize with you but I suppose you need to do it.

If I were to do your job, I would take the following approach:

Katalon.properties file and JVM System Property katalon.user.home

Problems to solve Let me assume, I have a single Web Application in multiple environments: the development, the staging, the production-blue, the production-green and more. These environments have 99% same contents and features except the following differences: Hostname — e.g. demoaut-mimic.kazurayam.com for development, demoaut.katalon.com for production Username/Password — e.g. kazurayam/foobar for development, John Doe/ThisIsNotAPassword for production. Now I want to: I want to use Kata…

1. make a properties file where you write the credentials, Or any JSON text file would do.
2. your test case (both for Web and for API/Web Service) reads the properties file, Your test case code should do everything to read the file (no KS built-in support).
   (But in Groovy, reading a JSON file is quite easy! see The Apache Groovy programming language - Parsing and producing JSON. )
3. git ignore the credentials file out of the source code repository
