2 - Store secrets in the vault

Use the vault to store secret data

Gaia provides a Vault which can be used to store secret values in a secure way. Details on how the vault works are located here: Vault Details.

The vault can be found on the left side menu here:

accessing-the-vault

If you click on it, you should be redirected to the vault manager view.

Here is where you can manage your secrets. Create, Delete or Edit them as you like. You will, however, never be able to view them. That is not supported for security reasons. Once a vault secret is created it can only be updated to something else.

Secrets are always overwritten if one already exists.

To create a secret follow these steps:

create-secret

If the operation was successful a green pop-up will indicate it in the top right corner.

Failure is indicated by a red pop-up.

To Delete a secret click on the trashcan icon:
