Vault - Read KV secrets
Provide the ability to read KV secrets from HashiCorp Vault and load them into variables.
Note
The field « Secret path » have to ends with a « / » if you want to discover secrets across current folder and his subfolders.
See Use case 2.
In discovery mode if the « Prefix type » is set to « None » or « Custom » and you have secrets with the same name in different folder the last value read will be set in the variable (erasing previus values).
Examples
For the examples the following folder structure is created.
« ALM » is a KV v2 engine.
« APP1 » and « APP2 » is two folders containing a subfolder « DEV » and two secret « key_1 » and « key_2 ».
Use case 1
Read secrets from a KV v2 engine called « ALM » located at path « APP1/DEV ».
There is now two variables called « APP1_key_1 » and « APP1_key_2 » that you can used in your next tasks by using $(APP1_key_1) and/or $(APP1_key_2).
Use case 2
Read secrets from a KV v2 engine called « ALM » and browse recursively on sub folders.
There is now four variables called « APP1_DEV_key_1 », « APP1_DEV_key_2 », « APP2_DEV_key_1 », « APP2_DEV_key_2 » that you can used in your next tasks by using $(APP1_DEV_key_1), $(APP1_DEV_key_2), $(APP2_DEV_key_1), $(APP2_DEV_key_2).
Tool - Create a File
Provide the ability to create a file and perform an action on his content.
Parameters :
Target directory: Directory to save the file.
File name: Name of the file to create (ended by the extension).
File Content: Content of the file.
Encoding: Output file encoding. More defails in NodeJS documentation (Buffers and Character Encodings).

Token to replace: Define the token to replace by a new line.
New line type: The type of the new line.
Carriage Return (CR, \r)
Line Feed (LF, \n)
CR followed by LF (CRLF, \r\n)
Use case 1
A variable loaded by the task « Vault - Read KV secrets » contains a multiline value where the carriage return have been replaced by a token.
This variable is named « $(APP2_DEV_key_3) ». The token is « #{rn}# ».
A file called « myCert.pem » will be created and the token « #{rn}# » will be replaced by a Windows Carriage Return (CRLF).
Use case 2
A variable loaded by the task « Vault - Read KV secrets » contains a base64 encoded value.
This variable is named « $(APP2_DEV_key_4) ».
A file called « myCert.pem » will be created with the content of decoded from base64.
