General

The General page of Redact contains the Secret and Key Management setting. When set to Enabled, it utilizes Vault to store and manage your Redact secrets and keys.

This page can also be used to generate the salt secret, copy the salt secret, and rotate the salt secret.

Storing secrets and keys in Vault provides a number of benefits:

  • Prevents the hard-coding of secrets, allowing you to reference the secret using the Vault ID instead of the secret value itself
  • Rotations of the key or secret material do not require a change to the code
  • Automatic rotation of key or secret material, increasing security and reducing risk

For more information on Vault and its other benefits, check out the Vault documentation.
