Create or update an organization secret
Creates or updates an organization secret with an encrypted value. Encrypt your secret using
LibSodium. You must authenticate using an access
token with the admin:org
scope to use this endpoint.
Example encrypting a secret using Node.js
Encrypt your secret using the libsodium-wrappers library.
const sodium = require('libsodium-wrappers')
const secret = 'plain-text-secret' // replace with the secret you want to encrypt
const key = 'base64-encoded-public-key' // replace with the Base64 encoded public key
//Check if libsodium is ready and then proceed.
sodium.ready.then(() => {
// Convert Secret & Base64 key to Uint8Array.
let binkey = sodium.from_base64(key, sodium.base64_variants.ORIGINAL)
let binsec = sodium.from_string(secret)
//Encrypt the secret using LibSodium
let encBytes = sodium.crypto_box_seal(binsec, binkey)
// Convert encrypted Uint8Array to Base64
let output = sodium.to_base64(encBytes, sodium.base64_variants.ORIGINAL)
console.log(output)
});
Example encrypting a secret using Python
Encrypt your secret using pynacl with Python 3.
from base64 import b64encode
from nacl import encoding, public
def encrypt(public_key: str, secret_value: str) -> str:
"""Encrypt a Unicode string using the public key."""
public_key = public.PublicKey(public_key.encode("utf-8"), encoding.Base64Encoder())
sealed_box = public.SealedBox(public_key)
encrypted = sealed_box.encrypt(secret_value.encode("utf-8"))
return b64encode(encrypted).decode("utf-8")
Example encrypting a secret using C#
Encrypt your secret using the Sodium.Core package.
var secretValue = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("mySecret");
var publicKey = Convert.FromBase64String("2Sg8iYjAxxmI2LvUXpJjkYrMxURPc8r+dB7TJyvvcCU=");
var sealedPublicKeyBox = Sodium.SealedPublicKeyBox.Create(secretValue, publicKey);
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(sealedPublicKeyBox));
Example encrypting a secret using Ruby
Encrypt your secret using the rbnacl gem.
require "rbnacl"
require "base64"
key = Base64.decode64("+ZYvJDZMHUfBkJdyq5Zm9SKqeuBQ4sj+6sfjlH4CgG0=")
public_key = RbNaCl::PublicKey.new(key)
box = RbNaCl::Boxes::Sealed.from_public_key(public_key)
encrypted_secret = box.encrypt("my_secret")
# Print the base64 encoded secret
puts Base64.strict_encode64(encrypted_secret)
