Configuring Delinea Platform

To configure Delinea Platform for the integration with Jenkins:

Step 1: Creating a Service User in the Delinea Platform

The integration requires a service user in the Delinea Platform. If you don't have a service user, you can create one. For detailed information about creating a service user, see Service Users in the Delinea Platform documentation.

Step 2: Assigning Roles and Permissions

The service user must have a role with the View Launcher Password and View Secret permissions in Delinea Platform. To learn how to create a role with these permissions and how to assign the role to your service user in Delinea Platform open the Roles and Permissions topic in the Delinea Platform documentation.

Step 3: Creating and Sharing a Secret in the Delinea Platform

You must create a secret in Secret Server on the Delinea Platform to store the credentials and then share the secret with the service user. The following procedure describes how to do this.

To create a secret and share it with the service user:

1. In the Delinea Platform, select Secret Server > All secrets.

2. Select Create secret.

3. In the Create new secret dialog, do the following:

4. (Optional) Change the default folder.

   Make sure that the service user has the View permission for the folder.

5. Under Choose a secret template, select the template from which to create a secret.

6. You can use any template that fits your needs.

7. Enter a name for the secret and the username and the password to store in the secret.

8. Provide values for the other secret fields according to the template.

9. Share the secret with the service user:

10. Go to the Sharing tab of the secret's page.

11. Select Edit in the upper-right corner.

13. Search for the service user by using the search box at the top.
