Akeyless

Interact with Akeyless API - Get static, rotated, or dynamic secrets

Overview

This node interacts with the Akeyless API to manage secrets and folders. Specifically, the 'Delete Folder' operation deletes a folder from Akeyless by specifying the folder name and its accessibility type (Regular or Personal). This operation is useful for cleaning up or managing folder structures within Akeyless secret management. For example, a user can automate the removal of obsolete or unused folders in their secret storage.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a folder named 'project_secrets' with regular accessibility to remove outdated secrets.
  2. Automating folder cleanup in a CI/CD pipeline by deleting personal folders no longer needed.

Properties

Name Meaning
Folder Name The name of the folder to delete.
Accessibility The accessibility type of the folder, either Regular or Personal.
Additional Fields Optional additional settings such as request timeout in milliseconds.

Output

JSON

  • json - The JSON response from the Akeyless API after attempting to delete the folder, indicating success or failure.

Dependencies

  • Akeyless API
  • An API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include authentication failures if the API key or token is invalid or missing. Ensure credentials are correctly configured.

  • Errors related to folder not found or access denied may occur if the folder name or accessibility type is incorrect.
