Secrets wallet
Note!
The Global parameters provides extended capabilities for storing authentication and other values. Secrets wallet will be phased out and replaced by the Global parameter in the future.
Note!
Existing secrets cannot be migrated to global parameters, so you must manually recreate and manage your existing secrets in Global parameters and update the function authentication references.
With the Secrets wallet, you can securely store and manage your passwords/credentials. These secrets can then be added to the functions within your streams using the Stream editor. This allows your function to connect to external systems and applications to collect or forward data without requiring credentials to be entered into the function, reducing the risk of exposure. Furthermore, storing credentials in the Secrets wallet makes it easier to reuse them across multiple streams.
For example, if you have an AWS secret, you can add it to your Secrets wallet and then select the secret by using the Secrets wallet toggle button in the configuration of the AWS S3 function.
