Integration overview

We support integration with the Delinea platform and Standalone Delinea Secret Server. We offer the following OAuth 2 authentication methods:
  • Using the Delinea platform with the client_credentials grant.
  • Using the Standalone Delinea Secret Server with the password grant.

Secret API version: Secrets are retrieved using the v2 API: /api/v2/secrets/

You can integrate Automation 360 with the Delinea Secret Server using either of these Automation 360 deployments:
  • Cloud
  • On-Premises

Cloud deployment

The Control Room handles operations like privileged access management, security settings, and user management. It mainly focuses on unattended Bot Runner users for automation tasks and matching usernames with managed systems. The Automation 360 Cloud deployment supports these use cases:
  • Agent auto-login credentials
  • Agent automation credentials

The following diagram shows an Automation 360 Cloud setup using Delinea Secret Server for the Agent auto-login credentials use case:
