Creating a 1Password Connect Server connection

​
Using API Token

To create the connection you need:
  • An API Address
  • An API Token

​
Obtaining the credentials

​
Prerequisite

  1. Create a vault for the Connect server to access. Connect servers can’t access your built-in Personal, Private, or Employee vault, or your default Shared vault.
  2. Make sure you belong to a group with permission to manage Secrets Automation.
  3. Make sure you have a deployment environment for Docker. You can use a cloud service provider or your local machine.

​
Create a Secrets Automation workflow

For detailed instructions on performing this step with the 1Password CLI, check out the guide here. If you’d rather not use the CLI, you can follow the steps below.
  1. Sign in to your account on 1Password.
  2. Open the Secrets Automation workflow creation wizard.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a Secrets Automation environment:
    • Grant your new environment access to the vault you created earlier. Make sure to allow Read and Write permissions if you want to be able to perform all the available actions in Blink. VaultPermissions
    • Set up your first access token. This is the API token used to establish the connection.
    • Deploy a Connect server. Make sure to save your credentials file and token in 1Password.
    You can find your new Secrets Automation workflow under Connect servers on the Developer page.

​
Deploy a 1Password Connect Server

Follow the steps on 1Password’s documentation to deploy your connect server with the credentials you created earlier.
Make sure to add Blink’s IP addresses in your instance’s allow list:
IP
44.194.139.218
3.217.19.166
54.81.101.61
107.20.97.38
The API address is the Base URL of your instance (including the port).
