Using the Vault Variables

Not available in Factory Lite and Factory Personal licenses.

A vault is a password manager, usually a cloud service, which allows you to securely store and access reserved information.

The information contained in a vault is mostly passwords and login credentials, but may also include certificates, API keys, or anything you need to restrict access to.

Single items of information are referred to as secrets.

Currently Rulex Factory supports:

  • Azure Key Vault

  • Centrify

Before adding a Vault Variable to the flow, you need to set up a vault connection within the Environment.

Rulex's technical documentation does not and cannot provide comprehensive guidelines on the use of third-party software, beyond how Rulex integrates with this software. Please consult the technical documentation of the third-party software itself for up to date information.

Only those who have Modify permissions can set up vault connections and save them as a Source.
