Machine User Account

Lisa Chung edited this page Jul 12, 2024 · 9 revisions

The machine-user account for VRO is named abd-vro-machine. This machine-user account has been added to the VA's GitHub organization. (The only concern is the VA may kick this account out since there's no va.gov email address associated with it. The account is still active.) This is also referred to as the bot account (robot).

This username will be seen in some GH Action workflow runs, e.g., for SecRel. This account is also used for generating kube configs.

PATs

The account as several PATs (personal access tokens):

Email account

The account is associated with an outlook.com email address with username abd-vro. The credentials for the email and GitHub accounts is stored in LHDI's HashiCorp Vault -- see Secrets Vault.

OTP (One-Time Password)

In the github/abd-vro-machine-user folder of Secrets Vault, there is a 2FA code secret. Use that secret in an OTP Generator like https://it-tools.tech/otp-generator to generate the OTP number required to log into the GitHub abd-vro-machine-user account.
