Tool Open source · MPL-2.0
OpenBao is an open-source software solution for managing, storing, and distributing sensitive data such as secrets, certificates, and keys. It encrypts arbitrary key/value secrets before writing them to persistent storage, supports storage on disk and PostgreSQL, and can generate system-specific dynamic credentials such as AWS or SQL database secrets on demand. Generated secrets have leases that clients can renew through built-in APIs and that OpenBao can automatically revoke; revocation can also target individual secrets or groups such as all secrets accessed by a user or of a particular type. OpenBao also provides encryption and decryption without storing the data, along with audit and key-rolling capabilities. The project is community-run under open-governance principles and is implemented in Go, with a command-line server and web UI.
