Microsoft Azure Key Vault Config Provider

confluent-hub install confluentinc/csid-secrets-provider-azure:latest

This plugin provides integration with the Microsoft Azure Key Vault service

KeyVaultConfigProvider

This config provider is used to retrieve secrets from the Microsoft Azure Key Vault service

Secret Value

The value for the secret must be formatted as a JSON object. This allows multiple keys of data to be stored in a single secret. The name of the secret in Microsoft Azure Key Vault will correspond to the path that is requested by the config provider.

{
  "username" : "db101",
  "password" : "superSecretPassword"
}

Secret Retrieval

The ConfigProvider will use the name of the secret to build the request to the Key Vault service. This behavior can be overridden by setting config.providers.keyVault.param.prefix=staging- and requested the secret with ${keyVault:test-secret}, the ConfigProvider will build a request for staging-test-secret. Some behaviors can be overridden by query string parameters. More than one query string parameter can be used. For example ${keyVault:test-secret?ttl=30000&version=1} would return the secret named test-secret version 1 with a TTL of 30 seconds. After the TTL has expired the ConfigProvider will request an updated credential. If you’re using this with Kafka Connect, your tasks will be reconfigured if one of the values have changed.

Parameter	Description	Default	Example
ttl	Used to override the TTL for the secret.	Value specified by config.providers.keyVault.param.secret.ttl.ms	${keyVault:test-secret?ttl=60000}
version	Used to override the version of the secret.	latest	${keyVault:test-secret?version=1}

Configuration

• Default: false
• Valid Values:
• Importance: HIGH

client.certificate.type

The type of encoding used on the file specified in client.certificate.path. PEM - Certificate is formatted using PEM encoding., PFX - Certificate is formatted using PFX encoding. client.certificate.pfx.password is required.

• Importance: HIGH

General

client.id

The client ID of the application.

• Type: STRING
• Default:
• Valid Values:
• Importance: HIGH

credential.type

The type of credentials to use.

ClientCertificate - Uses the ClientCertificateCredential.

ClientSecret - Uses the ClientSecretCredential.

DefaultAzure - Uses the DefaultAzureCredential.

UsernamePassword - Uses the UsernamePasswordCredential.

• Type: STRING
• Default: DefaultAzure
• Valid Values: Matches: DefaultAzure, ClientSecret, ClientCertificate, UsernamePassword
• Importance: HIGH

retry.count

The number of attempts to retrieve a secret from the upstream secret store.

• Type: INT
• Default: 3
• Valid Values:
• Importance: LOW

retry.interval.seconds

The amount of time in seconds to wait between each attempt to retrieve a secret form the upstream secret store.

• Type: LONG
• Default: 10
• Valid Values:
• Importance: LOW

secret.prefix

Sets a prefix that will be added to all paths. For example you can use staging or production and all of the calls to Secrets Manager will be prefixed with that path. This allows the same configuration settings to be used across multiple environments.

• Valid Values:
• Importance: LOW

thread.count

timeout.seconds

The amount of time in seconds to wait before timing out a call to retrieve a secret from the upstream secret store. The total timeout of get(path) and get(path, keys) will be retry.count * timeout.seconds. For example if timeout.seconds = 30 and retry.count = 3 then get(path) and get(path, keys) will block for 90 seconds.
