Abstract
To automatically onboard network functions to a credential vault, a orchestration processor actuates establishment of an cluster account for a network cluster, and actuates a cluster configuration of a processor of the vault to enable authentication of a network cluster. For each of a plurality of network functions associated with the network cluster, the orchestration processor generates an identifier, sets values for parameters of an initialization parameter set, actuates assignment of access permissions for a code address on a memory of the vault, actuates assignment of elevated access permissions for a credential address on the vault memory, and actuates association of the network function with a cluster account of the network cluster. The vault memory thereby defines credential addresses each corresponding to a respective network function.
