Overview

This node interacts with the Akeyless API to create a new secret in the Akeyless platform. It supports creating secrets of different types, such as generic or password, and allows configuration of secret accessibility, format, and secure access options. This node is useful for securely storing sensitive information like passwords, API keys, or other confidential data within automated workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a generic secret with a specified name and value for use in subsequent workflow steps.
  2. Creating a password-type secret by providing a username and password, enabling secure credential management.
  3. Enabling secure access web browsing or proxy options when creating a secret for enhanced security.
