The BlueCat Edge secrets manager allows you to store sensitive credentials in a secure
manner for reuse within Edge services without the need to manually enter in sensitive
data in different fields. To use the secrets manager, you must first create a secrets
profile that stores the sensitive data. Within the secrets profile, you can add a secret
and a name that it will be referred by when managing Edge configurations and
settings.
Note: Secrets manager encrypts sensitive credentials
using AES in GCM mode with a 256-bit key.
