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. This node is useful for automating secret management workflows, such as cleaning up unused folders in a secure secrets management system.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a personal folder named 'project_secrets' to remove outdated secrets.
  2. Removing a regular folder named 'temp_folder' after a project completion to maintain a clean secret store.

Properties

Name Meaning
Folder Name The name of the folder to delete, required for identifying which folder to remove.
Accessibility The accessibility type of the folder, either 'Regular' or 'Personal', which determines the folder's visibility and access control.
Additional Fields Optional additional settings such as request timeout in milliseconds.

Output

JSON

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

Dependencies

  • Akeyless API
  • API authentication token or access credentials

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure that the folder name is correctly specified and exists in Akeyless; otherwise, the API may return an error indicating the folder was not found.
  • Verify that the API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to delete folders.
  • If using self-signed certificates, the node allows ignoring unauthorized certificates by setting an environment variable, but this should be used cautiously.
  • Common error messages include authentication failures (check credentials) and network timeouts (adjust the timeout setting in additional fields).
