Checking Secrets In and Out

Managing secret workflows enables you to securely handle sensitive information. This section covers best practices to enhance your secret workflows.

Checking Out a Secret

You can check out a secret from Secret Server directly in Credential Manager (mobile).

To check out a secret:

1. Select the secret you want to check out.

2. Tap Check Out.

   After approval, you gain access to the secret, and the remaining time appears under the secret's name.

Checking In a Secret

You can check a secret back in to Secret Server using Credential Manager (mobile).

To check in a secret:

1. Open the secret you want to check in.

2. Tap the more options menu in the top right.

3. Tap Check In.

Checking Out a Secret Tied to a Ticketing System

If a ticketing system is configured, Credential Manager prompts for ticket-related information during certain security challenges.

For more information on ticketing systems, see Third Party Integrations.

To check out a secret when a ticketing system is enabled:

1. Select the secret.

   The app displays the ticket window.

2. Complete all required fields in the Comment Required dropdown.

3. If both Checkout and Comment are enabled, these prompts appear in a single step with a Check out button.

4. Click Check out.

   You have now checked out the secret.
