Secret Icons

Secret Icons allows you to display icons for secrets in the secret list, and secret details page.

Icon Display in Different Views

Icons display differently depending on the secret view:

  • Card View: The icon appears just to the left of the secret title.

  • Detail View: The icon displays just to the left of the secret name in the title section.

  • Grid View: The icon its own "Icon" column, which can be hidden or moved within the column row.

Flavicon Gathering

Favicons are icons that are representative of a website. They appear on places such as tabs and bookmarks. Secret Server's favicon is the Delinea D.

By default, Secret Server grabs the favicon from any website that is associated with a secret or secret template, even if secret icons are not enabled. This is for convenience—once you enable secret icons, secrets and secret template will set their own icon automatically.

However, you may wish to disable (see the note below) this behavior. To do that:

  1. Go to Settings and search for and select User Experience. The User Experience page appears.

  2. Click the Edit button.

  3. Click to deselect the Enable icon gathering check box.

  4. Click the Save button.

Flavicon gathering can cause unexpected traffic to hit the public internet as Secret Server gathers those flavicons.

Displaying Icons

Before you can use secret icons in any context, you must enable their use in Secret Server:

Secret icons are disabled by default.

  1. Go to Settings and search for and select User Experience. The User Experience page appears.

  2. Click the Edit button.

  3. Click to select the Show icons for secrets check box.

  4. Click the Save button.

Template Level

In the general section on any template, there is a "Display Icon" setting that allows users to select a component library icon or clear it to revert to the default skeleton-key icon.

Secret Level

In a secret's Settings tab, there is a "Display Icon" setting that allows users to select a component library icon or clear it to use the template setting icon. This supersedes any icon set on its template.

A secret's icon display varies by the presence of a URL field:

  • Secrets without a URL field display the icon set on the secret. If no icon is set on the secret, the icon set on the template is used.

  • Secrets with a URL field display the icon in the following order:

    1. First, the icon set on the secret is used. This is also how the URL's favicon can be overridden.

    2. If none is set for the secret. Secret Server attempts to fetch the favicon from the URL site. Favicons are icons that are representative of a website. They appear on places such as tabs and bookmarks. Secret Server's favicon is the Delinea D.

    3. If no favicon is available, the secret's template's icon is used.
