Creating a Secret in Secret Server

  3. Select the + sign and select the New Secret option from the available options.

  4. Choose the appropriate Secret Template, and then select Create secret.

    You must select the secret template based on the database you are using. The available secret templates in Secret Server can vary based on the version and specific configuration of your system:
    • MySQL Account – Used for managing MySQL and Apache Derby database credentials.
    • Oracle Account – Used for managing Oracle database credentials.
    • SQL Server Account – Used for managing SQL Server database credentials.

  5. Complete the following fields:

    • Secret name: Enter the name you assign to the secret. It’s how you will identify this particular secret within the Secret Server. Choose a descriptive name that makes it easy to recognize.

    • Server: Enter the IP of your server where the database account is hosted. You’ll need to specify the IP of one of the three servers:

      • MYSQL Server

      • SQL Server

      • Oracle Server

      • Apache Derby Server

      This information helps to associate your database account with the corresponding server in your environment.

    • Username: Enter the username used to authenticate. This could be the database administrator username or any user account created for accessing the database.

    • Password: Enter the password corresponding to the username above. This password is used to authenticate and connect to the database.

6. After creating the secret, go to the Sharing tab, select Add, and ensure the created user is granted access to the secret before saving the changes.
