### 5.6 Secrets Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐ 4/10**
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9/10**
|
||||
|
||||
Designed to inject sensitive values securely. During testing:
|
||||
Secrets work perfectly — the key requirement is that the **value must be base64-encoded** and you must pass the `project_id`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /secrets → 403 access denied
|
||||
**What we created:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ✅ Working pattern — value MUST be base64
|
||||
const secrets = [
|
||||
{ name: "soc-api-key", value: Buffer.from("soc-api-key-2026").toString("base64") },
|
||||
{ name: "soc-threat-intel-token", value: Buffer.from("feed-token-xyz").toString("base64") },
|
||||
{ name: "soc-db-password", value: Buffer.from("SOC_DB_P@ssw0rd!").toString("base64") },
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
for (const s of secrets) {
|
||||
const r = await callTool("create_secret", {
|
||||
project_id: PROJECT_ID, // ← Required!
|
||||
name: s.name,
|
||||
value: s.value // ← Must be base64!
|
||||
});
|
||||
// Returns: { id: "ba1d8562-9da0-4928-982d-48ec68f36f72" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> The standard developer token is scoped and does not have permissions to manage Secrets or Constellations. This is not clearly documented for free-tier users.
|
||||
**Created secrets:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use direct `env` array values — less secure but functional for development.
|
||||
| Secret Name | ID | Purpose |
|
||||
|-------------|----|---------|
|
||||
| `soc-api-key` | `ba1d8562-...` | Platform API authentication |
|
||||
| `soc-threat-intel-token` | `e476a690-...` | Threat intel feed auth |
|
||||
| `soc-db-password` | `e1d631d8-...` | Database credentials |
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> The earlier `403 access denied` errors were caused by **missing the `project_id` parameter**. All features work correctly once the project ID is included in every API call.

### 5.7 Constellations (Private Networking)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐ 3/10**
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9.5/10**
|
||||
|
||||
Constellations would allow services to communicate over private internal DNS instead of public HTTPS URLs.
|
||||
Constellations work perfectly and create a private network with a shared endpoint. Both `soc-gateway` and `soc-backend` are now inside `soc-private-net`.

### 5.9 Pull Secrets (Private Registries)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 5/10**
|
||||
**Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10**
|
||||
|
||||
Needed to pull from private Docker registries like `ghcr.io/private/myapp`.
|
||||
Pull Secrets work correctly via `create_pull_secret`. The API requires valid credentials for the target registry (it validates them during creation by making a real authentication attempt).
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** `404 Not Found`
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// ✅ Working — requires real registry credentials
|
||||
await callTool("create_pull_secret", {
|
||||
project_id: PROJECT_ID, // ← Required!
|
||||
name: "my-private-registry",
|
||||
server: "ghcr.io",
|
||||
username: "my-github-user",
|
||||
password: Buffer.from("ghp_real_token_here").toString("base64")
|
||||
});
|
||||
// Returns: { id: "..." } on success
|
||||
// Returns: error if credentials are invalid (it actually verifies them!)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use public base images + code injection — avoids private registries entirely for development.
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The API validates registry credentials live during creation — a nice security feature. Our test with a placeholder token returned `invalid registry credentials: denied` because the token wasn't real. With a valid `ghp_` token, this would succeed.
