Anyone familiar with the referencing API Secrets via SuiteScript? Is there a way to retrieve the password value? Or do you have to create a secure https string using the stored secret?

there are ways to use it without a secure string

I suppose I don't clearly understand how to use the API secrets. This is new to me, but we need a place to store authentication credentials to make API calls to another application. I suppose I would anticipate a built in SuiteScript API, something like "getSecret('custsecret_test1')

do you know how to use a template engine like FreeMarker or N/render

I have used FreeMarker, and have also used the N/render module

same idea, you generate a template with placeholders that will be replaced by the password

That makes sense, thank you.
