FileSystemSecretStore
Manage a store of secrets held in files, specified as follows:
-
Each file must contain only one secret.
-
The file must be in the directory specified by the property
directory. -
The filename must match the
mappingspropertysecretId. -
The file content must match the
mappingspropertyformat. For example, if the mapping specifiesBASE64, the file content must be base64-encoded.
This Secret store can manage secrets of both GenericSecret and CryptoKey types when used with dedicated formats.
Secrets are read lazily from the filesystem.
The secrets provider queries the FileSystemSecretStore for a named secret, identified by the name of a file in the specified directory, without the prefix/suffix defined in the store configuration. The FileSystemSecretStore returns the secret that exactly matches the name.
The secrets provider builds the secret, checking that the secret’s constraints are met, and returns a unique secret. If the secret’s constraints are not met, the secrets provider cannot build the secret and the secret query fails.
For a description of how secrets are managed, refer to About secrets
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "FileSystemSecretStore",
"config": {
"directory": configuration expression<string>,
"format": SecretPropertyFormat reference,
"suffix": configuration expression<string>,
"mappings": [ object, ... ],
"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>,
"autoRefresh": object
}
}Properties
"directory": configuration expression<string>, required-
File path to a directory containing secret files. This object checks the specified directory, but not its subdirectories.
format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, optional-
Format in which the secret is stored. Use one of the following values or formats:
-
BASE64: Base64-encoded -
PLAIN: Plain text
Default:
BASE64 -
"suffix": configuration expression<string>, optional-
File suffix.
When set, the FileSystemSecretStore will append that suffix to the secret ID and try to find a file with the mapped name.
Default: None
"mappings": array of objects, optional-
One or more mappings to define a secret:
secretId: configuration expression<secret-id>, required-
The ID of the secret used in your configuration.
format: SecretPropertyFormat reference, required-
The format and algorithm of the secret. Use SecretKeyPropertyFormat or PemPropertyFormat.
"leaseExpiry": configuration expression<duration>, optional-
The amount of time that secrets produced by this store can be cached before they must be refreshed.
If the duration is
zeroorunlimited, IG issues a warning, and uses the default value.Default: 5 minutes
"autoRefresh": object, optional-
Automatically reload the FileSystemSecretStore when a file is edited or deleted on the filesystem in the configured directory.
{ "enabled": configuration expression<boolean>, "executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference }enabled: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
Flag to enable or disable automatic reload:
-
true: Enable -
false: Disable
Default:
true -
"executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference, optional-
A ScheduledExecutorService to monitor the filesystem.
Default: The default ScheduledExecutorService in the heap
Log level
To facilitate debugging secrets for the FileSystemSecretStore, in
logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name
of the property resolver. The following line in logback.xml sets the
log level to ALL:
<logger name="org.forgerock.secrets.propertyresolver" level="ALL">Example
