Using the System Vault

This section describes how to use credentials in the System Vault.

Before you begin

  • You must have a private and public key pair. See detailed information in Generating keys and Tenant configuration credentials.
  • The System Vault must be configured in the IBM RPA Control Center. See detailed information in Configuring the System Vault.
  • The machine must be certified to the correct tenant. Navigate to the License page (https://localhost:8099/web/en-US/license) to verify the tenant assigned to the certificate.
Important:Starting from version 23.0.3, the License page (https://localhost:8099/web/en-US/license) isn't available anymore because of the removal of License ID and License password and implementation of installation keys. For details on proxy, region, or status, go to the IBM RPA Client page (https://localhost:8099/web/en-US/ibmrpaclient) instead.

Getting credentials

Getting credentials from the System Vault is only possible if the tenant is correctly configured in the IBM RPA Control Center. For more information on generating keys, see Generating keys.

To get credentials from the System Vault, use the Get Vault Item (getVaultItem) command with the System (--system) input parameter enabled.
