Automate updating OAuth Client Secret?

I am using GitHub Actions to automate deploying custom connectors in a solution to multiple environments. powerplatform-actions · Actions · GitHub Marketplace

Each time the solution is deployed, the OAuth Client Secret is cleared and needs to be manually updated for the connectors, which means the connector is broken after deployment until someone completes this manual task.

The pac cli which is used by the powerplatform-actions, doesn't seem to have any options for automatically setting the secret. The paconn cli does have a flag for setting the secret when updating a connector but it can't be used in automations as it requires an interactive login. Even if that were not the case, it doesn't seem like the best option since the connector would have to be exported and re-imported after it was just imported in a solution.

Is there any way to automate setting the Client Secret so that it doesn't have to be done manually after every update?

Try using the environment variables. It should resolve the issue of getting lost of the secrets when connector is edited every time.

what you can do is to use Azure Key Vault to store credentials and link the to Environment Variables.

you would pass the variable to in connection settings
