Securing AEM Configurations with AWS Secrets Manager: Seamless CI/CD Integratio by @arunpatidar 

Overview

In this blog, we explore a method to enhance AEM security by integrating AWS Secret Manager for managing sensitive configurations. Unlike traditional approaches where credentials are handled at runtime within AEM, this method involves retrieving credentials during the Maven build phase using Groovy scripts. The credentials replace placeholders in configuration files before deployment, ensuring that sensitive data is not exposed at runtime.

Key points include:

• Credentials are pulled from AWS Secret Manager during the Maven package phase.
• Placeholders in configuration files are replaced with actual values, avoiding runtime exposure of sensitive information.
• Detailed steps and sample Groovy scripts are provided for implementing this approach.
