Base64EncodedSecretStore
Manage a repository of generic secrets, such as passwords or simple shared secrets, whose values are base64-encoded, and hard-coded in the route.
This Secret store can only manage the GenericSecret type.
The secrets provider queries the Base64EncodedSecretStore for a named secret,
identified by the secret-id in the "secret-id": "string" pair. The
Base64EncodedSecretStore returns the matching secret.
The secrets provider builds the secret, checking that the secret’s constraints are met, and returns a unique secret. If the secret’s constraints aren’t met, the secrets provider cannot build the secret and the secret query fails.
Secrets from Base64EncodedSecretStore never expire.
|
Use Base64EncodedSecretStore for testing or evaluation only, to store passwords locally. In production, use an alternative secret store. |

Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore",
"config": {
"secrets": map or configuration expression<map>
}
}Properties
"secrets": map or configuration expression<map>, required-
Map of one or more data pairs with the format
Map<String, String>, where:-
The key is the ID of a secret used in a route
-
The value is the base64-encoded value of a secret, or a configuration expression that evaluates to the base64-encoded value of a secret
The following formats are allowed:
{ "secrets": { "secret-id": "configuration expression<string>", ... } }{ "secrets": "configuration expression<map>" }In the following example, the property is a map whose values are provided by strings:
{ "type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore", "config": { "secrets": { "agent.password": "d2VsY29tZQ==", "crypto.header.key": "Y2hhbmdlaXQ=" } } }In the following example, the property is a map whose values are provided by a configuration token and a configuration expression. The values are substituted when the route is loaded:
{ "type": "Base64EncodedSecretStore", "config": { "secrets": { "agent.password": "&{secret.value|aGVsbG8=}", "crypto.header.key": "${readProperties('file.property')['b64.key.value']}" } } } -
Log level
To facilitate debugging secrets for the Base64EncodedSecretStore, in
logback.xml add a logger defined by the fully qualified package name
of the Base64EncodedSecretStore. The following line in logback.xml
sets the log level to ALL:
<logger name="org.forgerock.openig.secrets.Base64EncodedSecretStore" level="ALL" />Example
For an example that uses Base64EncodedSecretStore, refer to client-credentials.json
in Client credentials grant.
