Databricks Service Principal Secret

Learn how to automatically rotate Databricks Service Principal OAuth Secrets.

Rotation Type: Dual-Phase

This rotation maintains two active credential sets with overlapping validity, ensuring zero-downtime during rotation cycles.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you’ve configured the service principal for rotation. See Configure Permissions for Secret Rotation.
• Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this rotation provider, if network restrictions apply.

Create a Databricks Service Principal Secret Rotation in Infisical

Infisical UI

1. Navigate to your Secret Manager Project’s Dashboard and select Add Secret Rotation from the actions dropdown.

   

2. Select the Databricks Service Principal Secret option.

   

3. Select the Databricks Connection to use and configure the rotation behavior. Then click Next.

   
   • Databricks Connection - the connection that will perform the rotation of the specified service principal’s OAuth secret.
   • Rotation Interval - the interval, in days, that once elapsed will trigger a rotation.
   • Rotate At - the local time of day when rotation should occur once the interval has elapsed.
   • Auto-Rotation Enabled - whether secrets should automatically be rotated once the rotation interval has elapsed. Disable this option to manually rotate secrets or pause secret rotation.

4. Select the Databricks service principal whose OAuth secret you want to rotate. Then click Next.

   

5. Specify the secret names that the client credentials should be mapped to. Then click Next.

   
   • Client ID - the name of the secret that the service principal Client ID will be mapped to.
   • Client Secret - the name of the secret that the rotated OAuth Client Secret will be mapped to.

6. Give your rotation a name and description (optional). Then click Next.

   
   • Name - the name of the secret rotation configuration. Must be slug-friendly.
   • Description (optional) - a description of this rotation configuration.

7. Review your configuration, then click Create Secret Rotation.

   

8. Your Databricks Service Principal Secret credentials are now available for use via the mapped secrets.
