Hi all, my name is Guillermo and I am new to this community and with resilient soar, i have a question regarding the way the fn utilities : command execution function handles the secrets in the app.config, we are triying to add a $secret to the remote_command variable in app config in example:

remote_command_linux = (/home/testremote/test $secret_var {{param1}})

but the $secret_var is not parsed and is runned in the remote server literaly ($secret_var), but in the local execution this secret variable is parsed correctly.

Could you please advise.

thanks in advanced.

Best Regards.

Hi Guillermo,

Welcome to the Community!

AppHost Secret's will only get interpolated correctly by resilient-circuits (AppHost's runtime environment) if the entire string in the app.config file starts with a '$' character, therefore, if your $SECRET is a substring of that, it will NOT get interpolated correctly and you will get unexpected results

What we advise you to do is make the whole string a secret and reference that in your app.config:
SECRET_COMMAND_VALUE=(/home/testremote/test <your command> {{param1}})

Then in the app.config section set:
remote_command_linux = $SECRET_COMMAND_VALUE

Hope this helps!
