Manage secrets

Secrets centralize the credentials for your integrations so you can reference them in connection configurations.

You store each secret once and then reuse it across supported integrations.

Prerequisites

• You are logged in to ValidMind.
• You are assigned a role that can edit integrations settings, such as Customer Admin.¹
• You collected the scoped credentials required by the external platform, for example a Jira personal access token, an MLflow username and password, or AWS access keys.

¹ Manage permissions

Add secrets

1. In the left sidebar, click Settings.

2. Under Integrations, select Integration Secrets.

3. Click Add Secret.

4. Fill in the details:

   • secret name — Enter an easily identifiable label that indicates which system the secret belongs to.
   • description (optional) — Summarize when to use the secret or who owns it so other admins know whether it is safe to re-use.
   • secret value — Paste the credential exactly as issued by the external system. The value is encrypted and never displays it in plaintext again.
   • expiration date (optional) — Set a rotation reminder if the external system enforces key expiry.

5. Click Create Secret.

The secret can now be selected when configuring connections.²

TipFor secrets with expiration dates

Recommended: Create a new secret and update integrations that should use it.

Or, to continue using the same secret, extend the expiration date.
