KV Secrets Engines¶
The hvac.api.secrets_engines.Kv
instance under the Client class's kv attribute
is a wrapper to expose either version 1 (KvV1
) or version 2 of the key/value secrets engines’ API methods (KvV2
). At present, this class defaults to version 2 when accessing methods on the instance.
Setting the Default KV Version¶
hvac.api.secrets_engines.KvV1.read_secret()
import hvac
client = hvac.Client()
client.kv.default_kv_version = 1
client.kv.read_secret(path='hvac') # => calls hvac.api.secrets_engines.KvV1.read_secret
Explicitly Calling a KV Version Method¶
hvac.api.secrets_engines.KvV1.list_secrets()
import hvac
client = hvac.Client()
client.kv.v1.read_secret(path='hvac')
client.kv.v2.read_secret_version(path='hvac')
