Security & Secrets management ensures your sensitive information is stored securely and accessed safely by agents and workflows. Secrets Vault Overview

​
Secrets Vault

The Secrets Vault provides encrypted storage for sensitive information:
  • API Keys - Service authentication tokens and keys
  • Database Credentials - Connection strings and passwords
  • Configuration Tokens - Integration-specific authentication
  • Application Keys - Custom application secrets
  • Environment Variables - Sensitive configuration values

​
Managing Secrets

Adding Secrets:
  1. Navigate to Resources → Secrets Vault
  2. Click Add Secret
  3. Enter a descriptive name
  4. Provide the secret value
  5. Set expiration date (optional)
  6. Configure access permissions
Secret Types: API Keys:
  • CONFIGCAT_API_PASS - Feature flag management
  • CONFIGCAT_API_USER - User authentication tokens
  • DATABRICKS_TOKEN - Data platform access
  • DATADOG_API_KEY - Monitoring service keys
  • DATADOG_APP_KEY - Application-specific tokens
Configuration Tokens:
  • CONFIGCAT_TOKEN - Configuration management
  • CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN - Documentation access
All secrets are encrypted at rest and in transit, with access controlled through role-based permissions.

​
Security Features

Encryption:
  • AES-256 encryption for all stored secrets
  • Encrypted communication channels
  • Zero-trust architecture principles
Access Control:
  • Role-based permissions system
  • Least-privilege access principles
  • Time-limited access tokens
  • Audit trails for all secret access
Rotation:
  • Automatic secret expiration
  • Manual rotation workflows
  • Integration with external secret managers
  • Notification alerts for expiring secrets

​
Using Secrets in Workflows

Secrets are automatically injected into workflows and tools: 
# Example workflow using secrets
steps:
  - name: deploy_app
    tool: kubernetes_deploy
    secrets:
      - KUBECONFIG_TOKEN
      - DOCKER_REGISTRY_KEY
Best Practices:
  • Never hardcode secrets in workflow definitions
  • Use descriptive names for easy identification
  • Set appropriate expiration dates
  • Regularly audit secret usage

​
Integration Security

Secure Connections:
  • TLS encryption for all integrations
  • Certificate validation and pinning
  • Mutual authentication where supported
Permission Scoping:
  • Minimal required permissions for each integration
  • Regular permission audits
  • Automatic permission reviews
Network Security:
  • VPC/network isolation
  • Firewall rules and security groups
  • IP allowlisting for sensitive integrations

​

  • Integration health monitoring
Alert Configuration:
  • Real-time security notifications
  • Customizable alert thresholds
  • Multiple notification channels
  • Escalation procedures

​
Troubleshooting

Access Issues:
  • Verify user permissions and roles
  • Check secret expiration dates
  • Validate integration configurations
  • Review audit logs for errors
Integration Problems:
  • Test secret values and formats
  • Confirm network connectivity
  • Validate API permissions
  • Check service-specific requirements
Performance Concerns:
  • Monitor secret retrieval latency
  • Optimize secret caching strategies
  • Review access patterns
  • Consider secret consolidation
Security first: Regularly review and rotate your secrets, monitor access patterns, and keep permissions aligned with the principle of least privilege.
