|
|
|
The Infisical Mongo Atlas dynamic secret allows you to generate Mongo Atlas Database credentials on demand based on configured role.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite
|
|
|
|
Create a project scoped API Key with the required permission in your Mongo Atlas following the [official doc](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/configure-api-access/#grant-programmatic-access-to-a-project).
|
|
|
|
<Info>The API Key must have permission to manage users in the project.</Info>
|
|
|

|
After submitting the form, you will see a dynamic secret created in the dashboard.

|
|
<Note>
|
|
If this step fails, you may have to add the CA certificate.

|

|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Generate dynamic secrets">
|
|
Once you've successfully configured the dynamic secret, you're ready to generate on-demand credentials.
|
|
To do this, simply click on the 'Generate' button which appears when hovering over the dynamic secret item.
|
|
Alternatively, you can initiate the creation of a new lease by selecting 'New Lease' from the dynamic secret lease list section.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
When generating these secrets, it's important to specify a Time-to-Live (TTL) duration. This will dictate how long the credentials are valid for.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Ensure that the TTL for the lease falls within the maximum TTL defined when configuring the dynamic secret.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you click the `Submit` button, a new secret lease will be generated and the credentials for it will be shown to you.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## Audit or Revoke Leases
|
|
|
|
Once you have created one or more leases, you will be able to access them by clicking on the respective dynamic secret item on the dashboard.
|
|
This will allow you to see the expiration time of the lease or delete a lease before it's set time to live.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Renew Leases
|
|
|
|
To extend the life of the generated dynamic secret leases past its initial time to live, simply click on the **Renew** button as illustrated below.
|
|

|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Lease renewals cannot exceed the maximum TTL set when configuring the dynamic
|
|
secret
|
|
</Warning>
