Ask Me access control for NetApp Workload Factory
In NetApp Workload Factory, Ask Me access security centers on authenticated sessions, user-level accountability, and protected secret handling during runtime operations. Authentication controls validate each session and associate interactions with a specific user. Sensitive credentials are retrieved from a managed secrets vault at runtime and redacted from logs. The service also applies infrastructure controls, including non-root container execution and a restricted CORS allowlist.
Authentication
-
Signed JWT authentication with cryptographic validation (including audience, issuer, and algorithm checks such as RS256)
-
Middleware-enforced authentication at the service boundary
-
User identity scoping so interactions are attributable to a specific user
Credential protection and secret handling

Secure vault storage: sensitive credentials used by the service are stored in a managed secrets vault and retrieved at runtime. No secrets are stored in application code, configuration files, or container images.
-
Log scrubbing: sensitive values (credentials, tokens, passwords, access keys, certificates) are redacted from logs before they are written.
Infrastructure security
-
Non-root container execution
-
CORS restricted to an explicit allowlist of trusted NetApp domains
