Service Accounts

This topic describes the purpose of the Illumio CloudSecure Service Accounts page, and provides a general example of how you would use it.

Use Case and Example

This feature lets you manage your service accounts that Illumio uses to interact with its own services (CloudSecure services) rather than directly with your AWS services. You will use the generated secret for the user account later, when you create a cloud formation stack.

The following steps illustrate how you might add a service account.

  1. The first part of the sequence would be to browse to the Settings > Service Accounts.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Enter a name and description and click Save.

  4. Click on the new service account in the table and click Add, under the SECRETS heading.

  5. Enter a name and click Save.

  6. Click Copy to copy the credential secret. This is very important. To see it, click Show.

    The next step would be to paste this copied secret into the credential secret field in the Onboard AWS by Running CloudFormation Stack section of Onboard an AWS Cloud Account.

If you wish to change the description for a service account, click the account in the table and click Edit (you cannot edit the name). If you want to remove secrets from a service account, click the account in the table, select the secret, and click Remove.
