Add AWS Secret Key to Project Keystore

To interact with AWS via API, PagerDuty RBA can securely store and use AWS secrets through it’s key storage. From within the project page navigation panel, click on “Project Settings” followed by “Key Storage”.

Click on “Add or Upload a Key” to bring up key storage modal.

Ensure that key type is set to “Password” and paste in your AWS Secret Key under the “Enter text” input field, along with a name/alias for reference.

Once entered, click on “Save” to upload and store your secret; this will be visible on page refresh.

Take note of the storage path of your AWS secret key; click on the link icon to copy the path for the next section

Place AWS Credentials in Project Configuration

Navigate to Project Settings -> Edit Configuration and click on Edit Configuration File:

Find the line in the file: project.aws.access_key and replace the value with your AWS Access Key.

Then find the line in the file project.aws.secret_key_path and replace the value with the Key Storage path copied from the previous step.

The lines in the file should now look similar to this:

    project.aws.access_key=AWS_ACCESS_KEY
    proejct.aws.secret_key_path=keys/project/AWS-PD-ACMECORP-GIRAN/aws-secret-key

Click Save at the bottom of the page.
