Delinea Credentials Cache

Delinea Credentials Cache is a web service that caches secrets from Secret Server or Delinea Platform and provides those secrets to clients. This service reduces the number of repeated API calls to the vault for the same secret, which improves performance. Delinea Credentials Cache can be deployed on Windows, Linux, or as a Docker container. The service is accessed over HTTP or HTTPS.

Delinea Credentials Cache works with Secret Server Cloud, Secret Server On-Premises, and Secret Server on the Platform.

Deployment Methods

Delinea Credentials Cache supports two deployment methods. Both methods provide access to the same API endpoints and Swagger UI.

	Standard Installation	Docker Container
Hosting	Windows (IIS) or Linux (Apache with systemd)	Docker on any host OS
Configuration	appsettings.json file	Environment variables (-e flags)
Certificate Management	Managed by IIS or the host OS certificate store	Mounted into the container via Docker volumes
Best For	Persistent server deployments with existing IIS or Apache infrastructure	Portable, repeatable deployments; environments already using containers

To deploy using a standard installation, see Setup. For Linux-specific configuration, see Configuring Delinea Credentials Cache on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Configuring Delinea Credentials Cache on Ubuntu Linux.

To deploy using Docker, see Delinea Credential Cache Containerization.

Delinea Credentials Cache has been implemented and tested to improve performance in the following integrations:
