Secrets Module for Ignition 8.3

Every published version of the module, with the Ignition version it has been verified against and the secrets managers it talks to, plus a direct download for the .modl asset and the user manual.

  1. v0.3.0

    v0.3.0 5 Aug 2026

    External secret providers for Ignition 8.3: referenced secrets in database connections, OPC and email profiles, and system.secrets scripts resolve directly from an external secrets manager. The estate release: hub-and-spoke deployments verified end to end.

    Ignition:
    8.3.3+ (gateway scope only)
    Providers:
    HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager or Google Secret Manager

    Changes

    • licensed module: the EULA ships inside the .modl and is presented on install; fully functional under Ignition's standard trial period, and a purchased licence is activated under Platform > System > Licensing
    • provider types for HashiCorp Vault (KV v2 and database engine static roles; token, AppRole and Kubernetes auth), Azure Key Vault (client secret and managed identity), AWS Secrets Manager (access key and EC2 instance role) and Google Secret Manager (service account key and GCE/GKE metadata server)
    • Cached Provider that wraps any other provider, built for the platform's Remote provider in hub-and-spoke estates
    • caching with last-known-good fallback: a vault outage does not take the plant down, and every cached serve is audited
    • windowless credential rotation with rotation detection: a rotated secret is picked up without a gateway restart or a dropped connection
    • hub-and-spoke estates verified end to end: edge gateways consume the central gateway's providers over the Gateway Network, with cross-gateway audit attribution (gan-remote-gateway-name=<edge>)
    • estate setup guide in the manual, covering both deny-by-default security layers that gate secrets access over the Gateway Network
    • outbound-only by construction: no listening sockets, no inbound firewall rules; the module bundles zero third-party jars
    • minimum Ignition version lowered to 8.3.3 (8.3.0-8.3.2 predate the platform's secret-reference machinery)
    • user manual attached to the release as a PDF
