Custom secrets mapping

When using Automation Anywhere with the external key vaults, such as HashiCorp, Azure, CyberArk and AWS, the work flow currently enforces a specific object name format: autologin_username, which corresponds to the Control Room username format.

The custom object naming convention now allows users to define their own object naming format. To map the Control Room usernames with the secrets names, you must import a .CSV file which contains the username, secrets names mapping entries into the Control Room, rather than following the Automation Anywhere secrets naming convention which is specified in the External key vault naming conventions section.

Note: Ensure you have the view and manage settings permission to perform this procedure.
To import the .CSV file for custom secrets mapping, follow the procedure.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Administration > Settings > External key vault > Device auto login.
  2. Click Edit and Manage custom secrets mapping.
  3. Download the .CSV and add the username, secrets name in the format specified and save it locally.
    As a first time user, you can download a .CSV template to upload using the Administration > Settings > External key vault > Device auto login > View custom secrets mapping option even before you configure an external key vault.
  4. Click Import .CSV and browse to upload the file.
  5. Click Import and save. The custom secrets mapping table is now populated with the updated entries.
    You can now perform the following actions, as necessary:
    • Import .CSV to add or update the entries.
    • Export to .CSV to export the mapped entries into a .CSV format.
    • Delete checked items to remove multiple entries.
    • Refresh to refresh the updated entries.
