Secret References

AppCat creates secrets containing passwords, URLs, hostnames, and everything you need to connect to your services from application code.

To ensure maximum compatibility between the various service providers, we ensure that the secrets are as consistent as possible within a given service type. Due to differences between service providers it might be possible that the access secrets aren’t 100% interchangeable.
