Is Sharepoint CSOM secure/encrypted?

Question

Hello, We're using Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client with Powershell to create libraries and folders and upload documents to a Sharepoint site. Would these transactions be encryted and secure? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi @Gino Montoya You can store the credentials in Windows Credentials Manager, then use this library to get the ICredentials object

ICredentials credential = CredentialManager.GetSharePointOnlineCredential("site url");

By doing this, you let Windows handles the encryption and storing of username and password. If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and kindly upvote it.
