Add secret

[stsdc]

1. Despite you gave me access there is now settings tab :confused: (maybe there are some permissions, that You didn't give me?)
2. We need a secure channel of communication so You can send me the key :closed_lock_with_key:

[casainho]

I gave you all the permissions, after that only the admin that It is advise I don´t give to anyone. Maybe you can write a point list of steps I should follow?

[stsdc]

Understandable.

@casainho read this.

Do as @charliebruce wrote:

You can encode your keys file with:

openssl base64 -in nRF5_SDK_16.0.0/components/ant/ant_key_manager/ant_key_manager_config.h -out my_encoded_secret

You'll then need to add the contents of my_encoded_secret file to the repo as a secret named ANT_KEY_MANAGER_CONFIG. I've tested this on my fork with the SDK default (all-zero) header.

Then restart the build action.

We also have to remember that

Secrets are not passed to workflows that are triggered by a pull request from a fork.

That means that every PR from fork will fail. :thinking:

[casainho]

We can always go back to basics, where the header file with the key has all 000 and when building a public release, do it manually to edit the key on the header file...

[stsdc]

What about if we put zeros, so it will always build, but if it runs in an environment with a specified variable it will replace it with this variable?

[charliebruce]

You can in theory re-add the default zero key. I'm not certain if the Action overwrites, or ignores if the file already exists though.

In practice, it might be better if forks failed to build until they add their own ANT keys though? Otherwise, could end up with the forker being confused by the fact that their fork behaves differently to the main repo. At least this way it's clear why the builds are failing.

[casainho]

So, any ideas how should we advance on this?

[stsdc]

So I will try test my approach on weekend on my repo and will tell you if it works. Just can You please tell me where to get this key?

[casainho]

Try this: #define ANT_PLUS_NETWORK_KEY {0xB9, 0xA5, 0x21, 0xFB, 0xBD, 0x72, 0xC3, 0x45} /*< The ANT+ network key. /

[casainho]

You can find here the ANT key: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/68872/background-scanning https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/11880/hrm-demo-profile-doesn-t-work
