The deployment ordering is automated. Credentials are deployed first, then transfers, then sources, then targets.
MFT Credentials are available in the FlexDeploy 5.0.0.1 release. MFT Credentials are the aliases to passwords that are used in config plans. They link those aliases to a property in FlexDeploy. The password is stored securely in that property and is updated there. Changing the password on an existing environment requires either a new build or a force deploy. The password is not in the build artifact, but a new build will indicate to FlexDeploy that the password was changed. Config plans cannot make use of plain text passwords in them. Only credential aliases are allowed.
User Properties are available since FlexDeploy 4.5. They allow user home directories and user permissions to be deployed through the environments and guarantee consistency of environments in the process. The property file is explained in object type section.
