Actions7
Overview
This node interacts with the Akeyless API to manage secrets. Specifically, the 'Get Dynamic Secret Value' operation retrieves a dynamic secret value from Akeyless, which is useful for scenarios requiring temporary or time-limited secrets, such as dynamic database credentials or API keys that rotate frequently. Users provide the secret name and can specify a timeout for the secret generation.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve a dynamic database password that expires after a set time to enhance security.
- Fetch a temporary API key for a service that requires dynamic authentication tokens.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Secret Name | The name or path of the secret in Akeyless to retrieve. |
| Timeout | Timeout in seconds for dynamic secret generation, controlling how long the secret is valid. |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional parameters such as request timeout in milliseconds. |
Output
JSON
json- The response data from Akeyless API containing the dynamic secret value.
Dependencies
- Akeyless API
- An API key credential for authentication
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors if access ID, access key, or token are missing or invalid. Ensure credentials are correctly configured.
- Timeout errors if the request takes longer than the specified timeout. Adjust the timeout parameter accordingly.
- Errors indicating unknown operations if an unsupported operation is selected. Verify the operation parameter is set to 'getDynamicSecret' for this use case.
