Using Credentials Saved in Orion for Deploying Agent via API

Question

Is there a way to reference a saved credential (via CredentialID, the same way SNMPv3 discovery works) instead of specifying the credentials in the script?

Method given in OrionSDK sample:

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AgentManagement.Agent Deploy @(
$engineId,`
$agentName,`
$hostname,`
$ip,`
$machineUsername,`
$machinePassword)

What I'm thinking:

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AgentManagement.Agent Deploy @(
$engineId,`
$agentName,`
$hostname,`
$ip,`
$credentialId)

I think that's going to be a feature request thing. If the goal is to get the password out of the script I always fall back to the 12 Factor App guidelines and move it into the environment . In that case it'd look like this with a couple environment variables called machineUsername and machinePassword. Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AgentManagement.Agent Deploy @(
$engineId,`
$agentName,`
$hostname,`
$ip,`
$env:machineUsername,`
$env:machinePassword)
