Secret providers

Note

This feature is available in Lite, Enterprise, Ultimate and Team editions only.

Overview

DBeaver supports cloud-based secret providers from AWS Secrets Manager and HashiCorp Vault.

Before configuring a secret provider in DBeaver, ensure that:

• AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault is set up.
• You have the necessary access permissions.

Configuring secret provider

1. Open Window -> Preferences -> Connections -> Secret providers.
2. Click Add.
3. Select a provider from the dropdown menu and click OK.
4. Fill in the required fields.

Creating a connection

1. Start creating a connection

2. In the Create Connection wizard, go to the Main tab, choose secret provider configuration and enter the secret name in the Secret parameters field.

   Info

   The secret name must match the name stored in AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault:

   • For Vault, use the following format secret/your_secret_name.
   • For AWS, use your_secret_name.

3. If the secret doesn’t include all required details (such as the host or port), enter them manually in the connection settings.

4. Click the Test Connection button to verify your settings. If configured correctly, DBeaver will establish a connection using the Secret Provider.
5. Click Finish to save the connection.
