Which type of credentials is NOT a part of the credentials vault in Dynatrace?

In Dynatrace, the credentials vault serves as a secure storage solution for various types of authentication credentials that are needed to interact with different services or systems. Each type of credential stored is crucial for enabling secure access and operations within the environment.

The type of credential that is NOT part of the credentials vault is API keys. API keys are typically managed and utilized differently compared to username/password pairs, certificates, and tokens. Username and password pairs are standard credentials used for user authentication. Certificates are often used for secure communications and client authentication, while tokens are used as part of OAuth or similar protocols to grant access rights without sharing passwords directly.

By contrast, API keys are often handled through API management systems or can be embedded directly within applications, rather than being securely stored in a credentials vault. This distinction makes them less suitable for inclusion in a centralized credentials vault designed for authentication management in Dynatrace.
