Use external secrets for license values

Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition supports Kubernetes-based external secrets for Harness license values.

Kubernetes external secrets enable Kubernetes resources to use external data stores securely. You can use Kubernetes-based external secrets for Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition license values in your Helm charts.

Currently, this feature is in beta. Contact Harness Support to get your Harness Self-Managed Enterprise Edition license files.

The following values are available in global.license.secrets.kubernetesSecrets.

• secretName: Name of the Kubernetes secrets containing Harness license keys

• keys.CG_LICENSE: Name of the secret key containing a FirstGen License

• keys.NG_LICENSE: Name of the secret key containing a NextGen License

     global:
       license:
         cg: ''
         ng: ''
         secrets:
           kubernetesSecrets:
             - secretName: ""
               keys:
                 CG_LICENSE: ""
                 NG_LICENSE: ""
