Summon Provider for CyberArk Identity

summon is a command-line tool that reads a file in secrets.yml format and injects secrets as environment variables into any process. Once the process exits, the secrets are gone This is the summon provider for fetching passwords of Secured Items from CyberArk Identity

Quick Start

Step 1. Config the Provider

To get started, download the provider from releases & start the configuration wizard by executing:

summon-identity-provider --config

Note: You only need to do it once

Step 2: Login

To log in to CyberArk Identity, execute:

summon-identity-provider --login

If you have logged in already and your authentication token is still valid, this command will refresh your token. Otherwise, you will be prompted to provide necessary information, such as password, to login.

This is recommended to execute this command before fetching secured items

Step 3 (optional): Fetching secured item using this provider

To verify the setup, you can execute the following command to display the content of the secured item from CyberArk Identity

summon-identity-provider <Secured Item Name>

Step 4: Prepare summon & your command

If summon hasn't been installed, follow this guide

<path to provider>/summon-identity-provider --login \
summon -p <path to provider>/summon-identity-provider \
    --yaml '<Env Var Name>: !var "<Secured Item Name>"' \
    <your command with env variable available>
