I've been looking for information regarding the best practices re: security when running an automated script from a bot user the server hosting our enterprise deployment.

I've found some information on the dev website laying out the different approaches, but I'm unsure if some of these are available on Enterprise 11.3 - I remember finding another page stating that OAuth2.0 isn't available until 11.4+. Here's the site:

Working with different authentication schemes | ArcGIS API for Python | Esri Developer

At the moment, my script logs into to our enterprise deployment using my Admin credentials, but we don't want to have a python file with plain text credentials lying around on our server. What is the recommended method to access our enterprise portal?

Secrets management options vary by OS/platform.  Are you running the script from Windows, Linux, etc...?

Hi, I'm running from a Windows server on our network using a bot user to run the script overnight.
