Lookup Secret

For Robots, this step securely retrieves a secret from the Vault and stores it in a variable. This step accesses sensitive data without disclosing it.

Robots stored in local projects cannot access services provided by the Management Console, such as secrets stored in the Vault. In Design Studio, place the robot in a shared project to use the Lookup Secret step.

When an administrator adds or deletes target systems and secrets from the Management Console, you need to refresh your Management Console from Design Studio.

To use the Lookup Secret step:

1. Create or edit a Robot.

2. Click where you want to add the step and from the menu, select Other > Lookup Secret.

   The Lookup Secret box appears.

3. From the Vault Lookup, select one of the following methods:

   • From List and choose from the list of available secret labels in the Management Console.

     When you click the following boxes, the Lookup Secret definitions pane appears with Value mode option automatically selected by default.

     1. Click the Label box and enter type the user name.

     2. Click the Target System box and enter the target system.

4. From the Store Secret In list, select or type the predefined variable where the secret is stored.

5. Execute the robot.

   • When executing in Design Studio, the project name of the shared project is used to determine which secret to look up.

   • When executing from the Management Console, the project where the robot is located is used to determine which secret to look up.
