Deadline publish job fails - invalid AYON_API_KEY

If you really don’t care the easiest hack I’ve seen others do is…

Go to the AYON Deadline Plug-in: Ayon/Ayon.param and open it in notepad.
Find:

[AyonApiKey]
Type=password

Change it to:

[AyonApiKey]
Type=string

You can now configure this key in plain-text without Deadline bitching about any of its security features. If you’re fine with just throwing all the stuff into the env of jobs anyways I guess you’re just as fine with having these plug-in settings for an API key settable in plain text.

It may even work (although I haven’t tried)… to set it to string, set the value, and then change it back to password. I assume it won’t work, but you never know.

And of course, sharing the Deadline docs for Secrets Management.

I wonder if this answer works for you.
