Secure Rest Call Credentials

[jsmith7735]

I have several external tools that I would like to pull data from. These tools support API calls but they require the username and password word to be included in the URI. Example https://ncommand.example.com/api/scheduledJobs?username=myuser&password=secret.

I am able to successfully pull data from the external system however eNMS logs the username and password in the enms.log logfile. Is there a more secure way to handle these credentials? What about sites that require API keys? I would like a way to find a way to store the data in the vault.
