Whats the best practice to encrypt client id & secret for SoapUI Project?

[indraniria]

If I dont have readyapi license, what would be best practice to encrypt client id & secret for SoapUI Project?

So that when committed the project to repository, those credentials are not exposed.

Use project custom properties and leave the values empty and push it to repository. Set the values only while running the tests.

Thanks. Can you please guide how to set properties while running tests? My tests would run in azure pipeline in an agent machine which has readyapi installed

One can put the properties into a separate file and pass them to testurnner utility during runtime (no need to open the project and set values). See the below documentation
