@Rohan0794 You can store these as configuration entries in the cloud manager and then use the same in the OSGI configs. More details here -

Hello @Rohan0794 

 

1. We need to store the variable as a Secret in Cloud Manager for that specific environment.

2. We need to specifiy that its a secret, in OSGi config.

  • ${secret.VARIABLE_NAME}

3. Make sure that the OSGi configuration is picked up in the environment. Verify the active configuration via Developer console in CM.

I am aware that we can store in Cloud manager and retrieve in OSGI using the above syntax but can we access the environment variable or secret in JCR properties directly using $[env:<variable_name>]?

Can we get OSGI values in JCR properties with some syntax?

you cannot read OSGI properties via the JCR API. Also I am not aware that you can access OSGI properties directly in HTL.

You always have to go via an OSGI service, which can OSGI properties as service properties.
