Rotating Blob Storage Credentials

Introduction

To rotate the blob storage credentials for Process Mining in Automation Suite an administrator will need to have access to the Kubernetes cluster secrets using either kubectl, oc, lens, or another tool. The stored secrets detailed below must be updated with the new credentials, and the pods for Airflow and Process Mining need to be restarted to make sure all pods for these service receive the new credentials.

Note:

The storage credentials need to be updated in the <uipath> namespace.

Note: The stored secret values are base 64 encoded. If using kubectl you will need to encode the values before updating them in the cluster. If using Lens (k8slens) then the Lens tooling can do the decode/encode automatically.

Examples

The following example shows how to update secrets:

kubectl patch secret processmining-external-storage-secret -n <uipath> -p "{\"data\":{\"ACCOUNTKEY\":\"<new_key_b64>\"}}"

Ceph Secrets

UiPath Namespace

processmining-service-rook-ceph-secret.OBJECT_STORAGE_ACCESSKEY

processmining-service-rook-ceph-secret.OBJECT_STORAGE_SECRETKEY

Minio Secrets:

UiPath Namespace

processmining-external-storage-secret.ACCESSKEY

processmining-external-storage-secret.SECRETKEY

S3 Secrets:

UiPath Namespace

processmining-external-storage-secret.ACCESSKEY

processmining-external-storage-secret.SECRETKEY

Azure Secrets:

UiPath Namespace

processmining-external-storage-secret.ACCOUNTNAME

processmining-external-storage-secret.ACCOUNTKEY

Note: Azure connection string is URL encoded; the string will need to be decoded, have the access key updated, then re-encoded.
