Hi,

We have a customer who wants us to anonymize social security numbers. it must be done with SHA256 with a salt.
It would be really neat if the customer could create the salt as a secret in the Portal. That functionality could be placed under Security and permissions.
Then developers should be able to use the secret as an Instance Variable in the application. The content of that type of variable should never be visible to developers, but function like any string in the application.
Would it be possible to arrange?

Hi,
A  simpler idea would be to have the string that’s created in the portal visible all the way.
The developers should still be able to use that string as an Instance Variable in the application.
In this way, the customer can change the value of the variable himself without using the application.
