SecretManager

A lightweight and flexible Azure Key Vault Secret Manager for Umbraco CMS. Receive notifications when secrets are about to expire, send alerts via webhooks, and display an overview of all secrets directly in the Umbraco backoffice.

👁 Secrets Overview

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• An Azure Key Vault with secrets configured
• Azure credentials (e.g., Azure CLI for development, DefaultAzureCredential for production)
• Umbraco CMS 16.x

Step 1: Configure Azure Key Vault

Set up your Azure Key Vault endpoint in appsettings.json:

{
 "KeyVault": {
 "Endpoint": "https://your-keyvault-name.vault.azure.net/"
 }
}

Step 2: Create the SecretClient

In your Program.cs, configure the SecretClient to connect to Azure Key Vault:

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.Security.KeyVault.Secrets;

var keyVaultEndpoint = builder.Configuration["KeyVault:Endpoint"];
var credential = builder.Environment.IsDevelopment()
 ? new AzureCliCredential()
 : new DefaultAzureCredential();

var secretClient = new SecretClient(new Uri(keyVaultEndpoint), credential);

Step 3: Register SecretManager

Add the SecretManager services to your Umbraco builder:

builder.CreateUmbracoBuilder()
 .AddBackOffice()
 .AddWebsite()
 .AddComposers()
 .ConfigureSecretManager(secretClient)
 .Build();

Adding the UI Dashboard

To display an overview of all secrets in the Umbraco backoffice, install the UI package and register it:

dotnet add package Umbraco.Community.SecretManager.UIBuilder

Then add the following to your configuration:

builder.CreateUmbracoBuilder()
 .AddBackOffice()
 .AddWebsite()
 .AddComposers()
 .ConfigureSecretManager(secretClient)
 .ConfigureSecretManagerUI()
 .Build();

The dashboard shows secret details including Name, Expiration Date, Created On, Recovery Level, and Tags.

Configuration Options

Configure the recurring expiry check job in appsettings.json:

{
 "SecretManager": {
 "Recurring": {
 "Period": "1.00:00:00",
 "FirstRun": "0 8 * * *",
 "WarnBefore": "7.00:00:00"
 },
 "UIBuilder": {
 "DateTimeFormat": "MMMM d, yyyy",
 "Culture": "en-US"
 }
 }
}

Setting Up Webhooks

Configure webhooks in the Umbraco backoffice to receive notifications when secrets are about to expire.

👁 Webhooks Configuration

1. Navigate to Settings → Webhooks.
2. Create a new webhook.
3. Select "Secrets Expiring" as the event.
4. Enter your webhook endpoint URL.
5. Save the webhook.

Custom Webhook Payload Providers

Create custom payload formats for different webhook endpoints (e.g., Microsoft Teams via Power Automate):

using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Community.SecretManager.Notifications;
using Umbraco.Community.SecretManager.Webhooks;

public class TeamsSecretsExpiringProvider : WebhookPayloadProviderBase<KeyVaultSecretsExpiringNotification>
{
 protected override bool CanHandle(Uri endpoint, string eventAlias, 
 KeyVaultSecretsExpiringNotification notification, IWebhook webhook)
 {
 // Matches Power Automate webhook endpoints for Teams integration
 return endpoint.Host.EndsWith("environment.api.powerplatform.com");
 }
 
 protected override object BuildPayload(KeyVaultSecretsExpiringNotification notification, 
 Uri endpoint, string eventAlias, IWebhook webhook)
 {
 return new
 {
 type = "message",
 attachments = new[] {
 new {
 contentType = "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
 content = new {
 type = "AdaptiveCard",
 version = "1.4",
 body = notification.Secrets.Select(s => new { 
 type = "TextBlock", 
 text = $"{s.Name} expires: {s.ExpiresOn?.UtcDateTime:yyyy-MM-dd}" 
 }).ToArray()
 }
 }
 }
 };
 }
}

Register the custom provider:

builder.WithCollectionBuilder<WebhookPayloadProviderCollectionBuilder>()
 .Add<TeamsSecretsExpiringProvider>();
