## Authenticating ARC with vault secrets
> [!NOTE]
> Vault integration is currently available in public preview with support for Azure Key Vault.
Starting with gha-runner-scale-set version 0.12.0, ARC supports retrieving GitHub credentials from an external vault. Vault integration is configured per runner scale set. This means you can run some scale sets using Kubernetes secrets while others use vault-based secrets, depending on your security and operational requirements.
### Enabling Vault Integration
To enable vault integration for a runner scale set:
1. **Set the `githubConfigSecret` field** in your `values.yaml` file to the name of the secret key stored in your vault. This value must be a string.
1. **Uncomment and configure the `keyVault` section** in your `values.yaml` file with the appropriate provider and access details.
1. **Provide the required certificate** (`.pfx`) to both the controller and the listener. You can do this by:
*Rebuilding the controller image with the certificate included, or
*Mounting the certificate as a volume in both the controller and the listener using the `listenerTemplate` and `controllerManager` fields.
### Secret Format
The secret stored in Azure Key Vault must be in JSON format. The structure depends on the type of authentication you are using:
#### Example: GitHub Token
```json
{
"github_token": "TOKEN"
}
```
#### Example: GitHub App
```json
{
"github_app_id": "APP_ID_OR_CLIENT_ID",
"github_app_installation_id": "INSTALLATION_ID",
"github_app_private_key": "PRIVATE_KEY"
}
```
### Configuring `values.yaml` for Vault Integration
The certificate is stored as a .pfx file and mounted to the container at /akv/cert.pfx. Below is an example of how to configure the keyVault section to use this certificate for authentication:
```yaml
keyVault:
type: "azure_key_vault"
proxy:
https:
url: "PROXY_URL"
credentialSecretRef: "PROXY_CREDENTIALS_SECRET_NAME"
http: {}
noProxy: []
azureKeyVault:
clientId: <AZURE_CLIENT_ID>
tenantId: <AZURE_TENANT_ID>
url: <AZURE_VAULT_URL>
certificatePath: "/akv/cert.pfx"
```
### Providing the Certificate to the Controller and Listener
ARC requires a `.pfx` certificate to authenticate with the vault. This certificate must be made available to both the controller and the listener components during controller installation.
You can do this by mounting the certificate as a volume using the `controllerManager` and `listenerTemplate` fields in your `values.yaml` file:
```yaml
volumes:
- name: cert-volume
secret:
secretName: my-cert-secret
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /akv
name: cert-volume
readOnly: true
listenerTemplate:
volumeMounts:
- name: cert-volume
mountPath: /akv/certs
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: cert-volume
secret:
secretName: my-cert-secret
```
The code below is an example of a scale set `values.yml` file.
```yaml
listenerTemplate:
spec:
containers:
- name: listener
volumeMounts:
- name: cert-volume
mountPath: /akv
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: cert-volume
secret:
secretName: my-cert-secret
```
