<p>

|
Secrets stored by libvirt may have attributes associated with them, using
|
|
the <code>secret</code> element. The <code>secret</code> element has two
|
|
optional attributes, each with values '<code>yes</code>' and
|
|
'<code>no</code>', and defaulting to '<code>no</code>':
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>ephemeral</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>This secret must only be kept in memory, never stored persistently.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>private</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The value of the secret must not be revealed to any caller of libvirt,
|
|
nor to any other node.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The top-level <code>secret</code> element may contain the following
|
|
elements:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>uuid</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
An unique identifier for this secret (not necessarily in the UUID
|
|
format). If omitted when defining a new secret, a random UUID is
|
|
generated.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>volume</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Key of a volume this secret is associated with. It is safe to delete
|
|
the secret after the volume is deleted.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>description</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>A human-readable description of the purpose of the secret.
|
|
</dd>
