Secret Manager - Access task

Announcement: Application Integration is now available for your Google Cloud project. You can now use both Apigee Integration and Application Integration within the same Google Cloud project. Learn more

The Secret Manager - Access task lets you access secret versions that are stored in Cloud Secret Manager from your integration. Accessing a secret version returns the content of that secret along with additional metadata about the secret version such as, labels and replication information.

Cloud Secret Manager is a Google Cloud service that allows you to store, access, and manage sensitive configuration data such as, database passwords, API keys, or TLS certificates that are required by an application during runtime.

Before you begin

Ensure that you perform the following tasks in your Google Cloud project before configuring the Secret Manager - Access task:

1. Enable the Secret Manager API (secretmanager.googleapis.com).

   Enable the Secret Manager API

2. Create an authentication profile. Apigee Integration uses an authentication profile to connect to an authentication endpoint for the Secret Manager - Access task.
   Note: If you're creating an authentication profile of Service account type, then ensure that the service account is assigned with the IAM role that contains the following IAM permission(s):

   • secretmanager.secretAccessor

   To know about IAM permissions and the predefined IAM roles that grant them, see IAM permissions reference.

   For information about granting additional roles or permissions to a service account, see Granting, changing, and revoking access.

Configure the Secret Manager - Access task

1. In the Apigee UI, select your Apigee Organization.
2. Click Develop > Integrations.
3. Select an existing integration or create a new integration by clicking Create Integration.

   If you are creating a new integration:

   1. Enter a name and description in the Create Integration dialog.
   2. Select a Region for the integration from the list of supported regions.
   3. Click Create.

   This opens the integration in the integration designer.

4. In the integration designer navigation bar, click +Add a task/trigger > Tasks to view the list of available tasks.
5. Click and place the Secret Manager - Access element in the integration designer.
6. Click the Secret Manager - Access element on the designer to view the Secret Manager - Access task configuration pane.
7. Go to Authentication, and select an existing authentication profile that you want to use.

   Optional. If you have not created an authentication profile prior to configuring the task, Click + New authentication profile and follow the steps as mentioned in Create a new authentication profile.

8. Go to Task Input, and configure the displayed inputs fields using the following Task input parameters table.

   Changes to the inputs fields are saved automatically.

Task input parameters

The following table describes the input parameters of the Secret Manager - Access task:

Property	Data type	Description
Projectsid	String	Your Google Cloud project ID.
Secretsid	String	The ID of your secret.
Versionsid	String	The version ID or alias of your secret. You can access the latest version of a secret by specifying latest as the version ID.

Task output

The Secret Manager - Access task returns the response payload.data, containing the base64-encoded content of the secret version. You must decode the base64-encoded value to get the output string.

Tip: You can base64-encode or decode data using the base64 command on Linux or macOS, or the Base64.exe command on Windows. Programming and scripting languages typically include libraries for base64-encoding. For command-line examples, see Decode base64 in the Cloud Text-to-Speech documentation.

Error handling strategy

An error handling strategy for a task specifies the action to take if the task fails due to a temporary error. For information about how to use an error handling strategy, and to know about the different types of error handling strategies, see Error handling strategies.
