Webhook
Generic Webhook
External Secrets Operator can integrate with simple web apis by specifying the endpoint
Example
First, create a SecretStore with a webhook backend. We'll use a static user/password root
:
apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: SecretStore
metadata:
name: webhook-backend
spec:
provider:
webhook:
url: "http://httpbin.org/get?parameter={{ .remoteRef.key }}"
result:
jsonPath: "$.args.parameter"
headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic {{ print .auth.username ":" .auth.password | b64enc }}
secrets:
- name: auth
secretRef:
name: webhook-credentials
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: webhook-credentials
data:
username: dGVzdA== # "test"
password: dGVzdA== # "test"
NB: This is obviously not practical because it just returns the key as the result, but it shows how it works
NOTE: In case of a ClusterSecretStore
, Be sure to provide namespace
in all secrets
references with the namespaces where the secrets reside.
Now create an ExternalSecret that uses the above SecretStore:
apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
name: webhook-example
spec:
refreshInterval: "15s"
secretStoreRef:
name: webhook-backend
kind: SecretStore
target:
name: example-sync
data:
- secretKey: foobar
remoteRef:
key: secret
---
# will create a secret with:
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: example-sync
data:
foobar: c2VjcmV0
Limitations
Webhook does not support authorization, other than what can be sent by generating http headers
Templating
Generic WebHook provider uses the templating engine to generate the API call. It can be used in the url, headers, body and result.jsonPath fields.
The provider inserts the secret to be retrieved in the object named remoteRef
.
In addition, secrets can be added as named objects, for example to use in authorization headers.
Each secret has a name
property which determines the name of the object in the templating engine.
