Using a secret

To use a secret in a workflow action, you must obtain the reference identifier of the secret and use that identifier in the workflow action.

Obtaining the identifier of a secret

Use the following procedure to obtain the reference identifier of the secret. You'll add this identifier to your workflow.

To obtain the reference identifier of the secret

  1. Open the CodeCatalyst console at https://codecatalyst.aws/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose CI/CD, and then choose Secrets.

  3. In the list of secrets, find the secret that you want to use.

  4. In the Reference ID column, copy the identifier of the secret. The following is the syntax for the Reference ID:

    ${Secrets.<name>}

Referencing a secret in a workflow

Use the following procedure to reference a secret in a workflow.

To reference a secret

  1. In the navigation pane, choose CI/CD, and then choose Workflows.
