Name Type Required Description

type

string

True

Media type of the resource. Defined values are:

  • "application/astra-credential"

version

string

True

Version of the resource. Defined values are:

  • "1.0"

  • "1.1"

name

string

True

JSON string containing a user-specified name. When a credential is created for a user, the name will be set to the UUID of that user. Defined values are:

  • Minimum length: 1

  • Maximum length: 127

keyType

string

False

JSON string containing an optional user-specified data validation type descriptor for the contents of the keyStore. Extended update constraints:

  • If a keyType does not exist in the resource and is not specified in an update, the keyType must not continue to exist in the updated resource.

  • If a keyType does not exist in the resource and is specified in an update, the keyType must be added to the resource and validation must be performed. If the validation fails, the update will fail.

  • If a keyType exists in the resource and is not specified in an update, the keyType must be preserved.

  • If a keyType exists in the resource and is specified in an update, and the keyType specified matches the existing keyType, the keyType must be preserved.

  • If a keyType exists in the resource and is specified in an update, and the keyType specified is different from the existing keyType, the update will fail. Defined values are:

  • "generic" - The credential is a generic collection of data. This is equivalent to not including a keyType.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • One or more strings must exist in the keyStore.

  • Every string in the keyStore must have a value encoded in base64.

  • "passwordHash" - The credential is a password hash.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • The name of the credential must be unique.

  • The name of the credential must be equal to a valid user resource ID.

  • The name of the credential must not be altered.

  • The corresponding user resource must have an "authProvider" of "local".

  • A "cleartext" string must exist within the keyStore with a value containing a base64-encoded cleartext password:

  • The password cleartext must conform to the account's password policy.

  • The password is stored as a hash.

  • A "change" string must exist within the keyStore with a value containing a base64-encoded string "true" or "false".

  • A credential of type passwordHash can only be deleted if the user ID indicated by the name does not exist.

  • "apikey" - The credential is an API key.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • An "apikey" string must exist within the keyStore, with a value containing a base64-encoded arbitrary string.

  • "kubeconfig" - The credential is a kubeconfig.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • A "base64" string must exist within the keyStore, with a value containing a base64-encoded JSON kubeconfig file.

  • The kubeconfig file must only describe a single cluster.

  • No other fields can exist within the keyStore.

  • "certificate" - The credential is a PEM-encoded certificate

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • A "certificate" string must exist within the keyStore, with a value containing a base64-encoded PEM certificate.

  • "privkey" - The credential is a PEM-encoded private key.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • A "privkey" string must exist within the keyStore, with a value containing a base64-encoded PEM private key.

  • "s3" - Indicates the credentials are for Simple Storage Service (S3) access.

  • Extended validation is performed as follows:

  • An "accessKey" string must exist within the keyStore with a value containing a base64-encoded S3 access key.

  • An "accessSecret" string must exist within the keyStore with a value containing a base64-encoded S3 access secret.
