The secret has expired

Code: egress.secret_expired

Section titled “What happened”

Awake’s answer says:

the secret whose placeholder this request carries has expired: replace it, or change its expiry

Why Awake does this

Section titled “Why Awake does this”

Every request a box sends leaves through the Egress Proxy, outside the box, which allows only what your org’s policy names and refuses the rest. The Egress Proxy says more.

What you can do

Section titled “What you can do”

Replace the secret’s value, or change its expiry, in Secrets.

In the console: Secrets.

Open Secrets, find the secret whose placeholder your tool uses, and choose Replace value, or change its expiry. The placeholder stays the same, so your tool’s configuration needs no change.

What your admin can do

Section titled “What your admin can do”

For one of your org’s secrets, an Org admin replaces it in Admin → Secrets.

For agents

Section titled “For agents”

Tell the person what was refused and why, with this code, and don’t retry in a loop. Don’t try another host, encoding or route to get around a control.

Where Awake records it

Section titled “Where Awake records it”

The Egress Proxy records each refusal, never the request’s data. Org admins and security auditors read the records in the Audit log.

Section titled “Related codes”

Still stuck

Section titled “Still stuck”

Ask your Awake admin. Give them the code, egress.secret_expired, and when it happened.
