Key-Vault

What is a vault?

A vault is a secured space to store your server details and credentials so that they can be reused anytime — no need to remember every detail. AutoSage handles them securely and safely.

A vault has three components:

1. Vault — the container itself
2. Servers — server connection details
3. Credentials — usernames/passwords or SSH keys

You can create multiple vaults per account (e.g., dev-env and prod-env), each holding its own distinct set of credentials and servers.

After creating a vault, select it to open. Inside, you'll find two tabs: Credentials and Servers.

Typical flow

First save a credential, then save a server that links to it.

Credentials

Saving a credential

When saving a credential, you'll be asked for:

• Credential name
• Type — either username-password or ssh-key
• The corresponding fields, based on the chosen type

Once saved, the credential immediately appears in the UI for selection.

Security

AutoSage never fetches the actual credential values into the UI by default. Only the credential name and type are loaded for display.

Viewing a credential

If you need to see the stored secret value:

1. Click the eye icon next to the credential.
2. AutoSage will decrypt the credential and render it so you can copy or view it.

warning

Only reveal a credential when required, and remember to close the modal as soon as you're done.

Updating a credential

When editing an existing credential:

• The username/password or ssh-private-key input box will appear blank.
• Leave it blank to keep the existing value unchanged.
• Enter a new value only if you want to overwrite the stored one.

Servers

Adding a server

When adding a server, you'll be asked for:

• Display name — a human-readable label
• Server host/IP - IP address of the server
• Connection type — ssh for Unix, winrm for Windows
• Port — defaults are 22 (SSH) and 5985 (WinRM)
• Default credential — optionally link a saved credential

Servers can be edited and viewed anytime as needed.

One-less step in Action node configuration

If a server has a default credential linked, simply selecting that server in a workflow's Action node configuration will auto-select its credential — saving you a step.
