  <h1>IBM Secrets Manager</h1>

<h2 id="ibm-cloud-secret-manager">IBM Cloud Secret Manager</h2>
<p>External Secrets Operator integrates with <a href="https://www.ibm.com/cloud/secrets-manager">IBM Cloud Secret Manager</a> for secret management.</p>
<h3 id="authentication">Authentication</h3>
<p>We support API key and trusted profile container authentication for this provider.</p>
<h4 id="api-key-secret">API key secret</h4>
<p>To generate your key (for test purposes we are going to generate from your user), first got to your (Access IAM) page:</p>
<p><img alt="iam" src="../../pictures/screenshot_api_keys_iam.png" /></p>
<p>On the left, click "API Keys", then click on "Create"</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_api_keys_iam_left.png" /></p>
<p>Pick a name and description for your key:</p>
<p><img alt="iam-create-key" src="../../pictures/screenshot_api_keys_create.png" /></p>
<p>You have created a key. Press the eyeball to show the key. Copy or save it because keys can't be displayed or downloaded twice.</p>
<p><img alt="iam-create-success" src="../../pictures/screenshot_api_keys_create_successful.png" /></p>
<p>Create a secret containing your apiKey:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>kubectl<span class="w"> </span>create<span class="w"> </span>secret<span class="w"> </span>generic<span class="w"> </span>ibm-secret<span class="w"> </span>--from-literal<span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">apiKey</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">&#39;API_KEY_VALUE&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div>
<h4 id="trusted-profile-container-auth">Trusted Profile Container Auth</h4>
<p>To create the trusted profile, first got to your (Access IAM) page:</p>
<p><img alt="iam" src="../../pictures/screenshot_api_keys_iam.png" /></p>
<p>On the left, click "Access groups":</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group.png" /></p>
<p>Pick a name and description for your group:</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group_1.png" /></p>
<p>Click on "Access", and then on "Assign":</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group_2.png" /></p>
<p>Click on "Assign Access", select "IAM services", and pick "Secrets Manager" from the pick-list:</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group_3.png" /></p>
<p>Scope to "All resources" or "Resources based on selected attributes":</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group_4.png" /></p>
<p>Select the "SecretsReader" service access policy:</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_group_5.png" /></p>
<p>Click "Add" and "Assign" to save the access group.</p>
<p>Next, on the left, click "Trusted profiles":</p>
<p><img alt="iam-left" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_iam_left.png" /></p>
<p>Press "Create" and pick a name and description for your profile:</p>
<p><img alt="iam-create-key" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_1.png" /></p>
<p>Scope the profile's access.</p>
<p>The compute service type will be "Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud".  Additional restriction can be configured based on cloud or cluster metadata, or if "Specific resources" is selected, restriction to a specific cluster.</p>
<p><img alt="iam-create-key" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_2.png" /></p>
<p>Click "Add" next to the previously created access group and then "Create", to associate the necessary service permissions.</p>
<p><img alt="iam-create-key" src="../../pictures/screenshot_container_auth_create_3.png" /></p>
<p>To use the container-based authentication, it is necessary to map the API server <code>serviceAccountToken</code> auth token to the "external-secrets" and "external-secrets-webhook" deployment descriptors. Example below:</p>

<li><code>remoteRef</code> retrieves a string from secrets manager and sets it for specified <code>secretKey</code></li>

</ul>
<h4 id="username_password">username_password</h4>

<h3 id="populating-the-kubernetes-secret-with-metadata-from-ibm-secrets-manager-provider">Populating the Kubernetes secret with metadata from IBM Secrets Manager Provider</h3>
<p>ESO can add metadata while creating or updating a Kubernetes secret to be reflected in its labels or annotations. The metadata could be any of the fields that are supported and returned in the response by IBM Secrets Manager.</p>
<p>In order for the user to opt-in to adding metadata to secret, an existing optional field <code>spec.dataFrom.extract.metadataPolicy</code> can be be set to <code>Fetch</code>, its default value being <code>None</code>. In addition to this, templating provided be ESO can be leveraged to specify the key-value pairs of the resultant secrets' labels and annotation.</p>
<p>In order for the required metadata to be populated in the Kubernetes secret, combination of below should be provided in the External Secrets resource:
1. The required metadata should be specified under <code>template.metadata.labels</code> or <code>template.metadata.annotations</code>.
2. The required secret data should be specified under <code>template.data</code>.
3. The spec.dataFrom.extract should be specified with details of the Secrets Manager secret with <code>spec.dataFrom.extract.metadataPolicy</code> set to <code>Fetch</code>.
Below is an example, where <code>secret_id</code> and <code>updated_at</code> are the metadata of a secret in IBM Secrets Manager:</p>
