Secret Server

  • Secret Server is properly installed and configured in your environment. For more information about installing and configuring Secret Server, see the Secret Server documentation.

  • Secret Server version 11.x and later are supported.

  • You have admin permissions for logging in to Secret Server.

  • You must have a Distributed Engine installed and configured in your environment. To learn more about how to install and configure Distributed engine, see the Secret Server documentation.

Enable Confidential Secret Fields in Event Pipelines

The Event Pipeline PowerShell script requires access to confidential secret fields (such as the password field) to authenticate with the Credentials Cache API. This access is controlled by a Secret Server configuration setting that is disabled by default.

If this setting is not enabled before you configure the Event Pipeline, the PowerShell script will fail silently when referencing password fields. Enable this setting before proceeding with the implementation steps.

To enable confidential secret field access in Event Pipelines:

  1. In Secret Server, navigate to Admin > Configuration > Advanced.
  2. Locate the setting Event Pipelines: Allow Confidential Secret Fields to be used in Scripts.
  3. Set the value to True.
  4. Select Save.

Default value: False

This setting allows Event Pipeline script tasks to reference confidential fields such as $password. It must be set to True for this integration to work.

Delinea Platform

  • The Delinea Platform is properly provisioned and configured in your environment. For more information about provisioning and configuring the Delinea Platform, see the Delinea Platform documentation.

  • You have admin permissions for logging in to the Delinea Platform.

  • You must have a Distributed Engine installed and configured in your environment. To learn more about how to install and configure Distributed engine, see the Secret Server documentation.
