configure_root_iam_credentials(access_key, secret_key, region=None, iam_endpoint=None, sts_endpoint=None, max_retries=-1, mount_point='aws')[source]

Configure the root IAM credentials to communicate with AWS.

There are multiple ways to pass root IAM credentials to the Vault server, specified below with the highest precedence first. If credentials already exist, this will overwrite them.

The official AWS SDK is used for sourcing credentials from env vars, shared files, or IAM/ECS instances.

  • Static credentials provided to the API as a payload
  • Credentials in the AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, and AWS_REGION environment variables on the server
  • Shared credentials files
  • Assigned IAM role or ECS task role credentials

At present, this endpoint does not confirm that the provided AWS credentials are valid AWS credentials with proper permissions.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/config/root. Produces: 204 (empty body)
Parameters:
  • access_key (str | unicode) – Specifies the AWS access key ID.
  • secret_key (str | unicode) – Specifies the AWS secret access key.
  • region (str | unicode) – Specifies the AWS region. If not set it will use the AWS_REGION env var, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION env var, or us-east-1 in that order.
  • iam_endpoint (str | unicode) – Specifies a custom HTTP IAM endpoint to use.
  • sts_endpoint (str | unicode) – Specifies a custom HTTP STS endpoint to use.
  • max_retries (int) – Number of max retries the client should use for recoverable errors. The default (-1) falls back to the AWS SDK’s default behavior.
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response

create_or_update_role(name, credential_type, policy_document=None, default_sts_ttl=None, max_sts_ttl=None, role_arns=None, policy_arns=None, legacy_params=False, mount_point='aws')[source]

Create or update the role with the given name.

If a role with the name does not exist, it will be created. If the role exists, it will be updated with the new attributes.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/roles/{name}. Produces: 204 (empty body)
Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the role to create. This is part of the request URL.
  • credential_type (str | unicode) – Specifies the type of credential to be used when retrieving credentials from the role. Must be one of iam_user, assumed_role, or federation_token.
  • policy_document (dict | str | unicode) – The IAM policy document for the role. The behavior depends on the credential type. With iam_user, the policy document will be attached to the IAM user generated and augment the permissions the IAM user has. With assumed_role and federation_token, the policy document will act as a filter on what the credentials can do.
  • default_sts_ttl (str | unicode) – The default TTL for STS credentials. When a TTL is not specified when STS credentials are requested, and a default TTL is specified on the role, then this default TTL will be used. Valid only when credential_type is one of assumed_role or federation_token.
  • max_sts_ttl (str | unicode) – The max allowed TTL for STS credentials (credentials TTL are capped to max_sts_ttl). Valid only when credential_type is one of assumed_role or federation_token.
  • role_arns (list | str | unicode) – Specifies the ARNs of the AWS roles this Vault role is allowed to assume. Required when credential_type is assumed_role and prohibited otherwise. This is a comma-separated string or JSON array. String types supported for Vault legacy parameters.
  • policy_arns (list) – Specifies the ARNs of the AWS managed policies to be attached to IAM users when they are requested. Valid only when credential_type is iam_user. When credential_type is iam_user, at least one of policy_arns or policy_document must be specified. This is a comma-separated string or JSON array.
  • legacy_params (bool) – Flag to send legacy (Vault versions < 0.11.0) parameters in the request. When this is set to True, policy_document and policy_arns are the only parameters used from this method.
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response

generate_credentials(name, role_arn=None, ttl='3600s', endpoint='creds', mount_point='aws')[source]

Generates credential based on the named role.

This role must be created before queried.

The /aws/creds and /aws/sts endpoints are almost identical. The exception is when retrieving credentials for a role that was specified with the legacy arn or policy parameter. In this case, credentials retrieved through /aws/sts must be of either the assumed_role or federation_token types, and credentials retrieved through /aws/creds must be of the iam_user type.

Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the role to generate credentials against. This is part of the request URL.
  • role_arn (str | unicode) – The ARN of the role to assume if credential_type on the Vault role is assumed_role. Must match one of the allowed role ARNs in the Vault role. Optional if the Vault role only allows a single AWS role ARN; required otherwise.
  • ttl (str | unicode) – Specifies the TTL for the use of the STS token. This is specified as a string with a duration suffix. Valid only when credential_type is assumed_role or federation_token. When not specified, the default sts_ttl set for the role will be used. If that is also not set, then the default value of 3600s will be used. AWS places limits on the maximum TTL allowed. See the AWS documentation on the DurationSeconds parameter for AssumeRole (for assumed_role credential types) and GetFederationToken (for federation_token credential types) for more details.
  • endpoint (str | unicode) – Supported endpoints: GET: /{mount_point}/creds/{name}. Produces: 200 application/json GET: /{mount_point}/sts/{name}. Produces: 200 application/json

rotate_root_iam_credentials(mount_point='aws')[source]

Rotate static root IAM credentials.

When you have configured Vault with static credentials, you can use this endpoint to have Vault rotate the access key it used. Note that, due to AWS eventual consistency, after calling this endpoint, subsequent calls from Vault to AWS may fail for a few seconds until AWS becomes consistent again.

In order to call this endpoint, Vault’s AWS access key MUST be the only access key on the IAM user; otherwise, generation of a new access key will fail. Once this method is called, Vault will now be the only entity that knows the AWS secret key is used to access AWS.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/config/rotate-root. Produces: 200 application/json
Returns:The JSON response of the request.

encrypt_data(name, plaintext, context='', key_version=0, nonce=None, batch_input=None, type='aes256-gcm96', convergent_encryption='', mount_point='transit')[source]

Encrypt the provided plaintext using the named key.

This path supports the create and update policy capabilities as follows: if the user has the create capability for this endpoint in their policies, and the key does not exist, it will be upserted with default values (whether the key requires derivation depends on whether the context parameter is empty or not). If the user only has update capability and the key does not exist, an error will be returned.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/encrypt/{name}. Produces: 200 application/json
Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the encryption key to encrypt against. This is specified as part of the URL.
  • plaintext (str | unicode) – Specifies base64 encoded plaintext to be encoded.
  • context (str | unicode) – Specifies the base64 encoded context for key derivation. This is required if key derivation is enabled for this key.
  • key_version (int) – Specifies the version of the key to use for encryption. If not set, uses the latest version. Must be greater than or equal to the key’s min_encryption_version, if set.
  • nonce (str | unicode) – Specifies the base64 encoded nonce value. This must be provided if convergent encryption is enabled for this key and the key was generated with Vault 0.6.1. Not required for keys created in 0.6.2+. The value must be exactly 96 bits (12 bytes) long and the user must ensure that for any given context (and thus, any given encryption key) this nonce value is never reused.
  • batch_input (List[dict]) – Specifies a list of items to be encrypted in a single batch. When this parameter is set, if the parameters ‘plaintext’, ‘context’ and ‘nonce’ are also set, they will be ignored. The format for the input is: [dict(context=”b64_context”, plaintext=”b64_plaintext”), …]
  • type (str | unicode) – This parameter is required when encryption key is expected to be created. When performing an upsert operation, the type of key to create.
  • convergent_encryption (str | unicode) – This parameter will only be used when a key is expected to be created. Whether to support convergent encryption. This is only supported when using a key with key derivation enabled and will require all requests to carry both a context and 96-bit (12-byte) nonce. The given nonce will be used in place of a randomly generated nonce. As a result, when the same context and nonce are supplied, the same ciphertext is generated. It is very important when using this mode that you ensure that all nonces are unique for a given context. Failing to do so will severely impact the ciphertext’s security.
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The JSON response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response

generate_data_key(name, key_type, context='', nonce='', bits=256, mount_point='transit')[source]

Generates a new high-entropy key and the value encrypted with the named key.

Optionally return the plaintext of the key as well.

Once trimmed, previous versions of the key cannot be recovered.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/keys/{name}/trim. Produces: 200 application/json
Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the key to be trimmed.
  • min_version (int) – The minimum version for the key ring. All versions before this version will be permanently deleted. This value can at most be equal to the lesser of min_decryption_version and min_encryption_version. This is not allowed to be set when either min_encryption_version or min_decryption_version is set to zero.
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response

update_key_configuration(name, min_decryption_version=0, min_encryption_version=0, deletion_allowed=False, exportable=False, allow_plaintext_backup=False, mount_point='transit')[source]

Tune configuration values for a given key.

These values are returned during a read operation on the named key.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/keys/{name}/config. Produces: 204 (empty body)
Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the encryption key to update configuration for.
  • min_decryption_version (int) – Specifies the minimum version of ciphertext allowed to be decrypted. Adjusting this as part of a key rotation policy can prevent old copies of ciphertext from being decrypted, should they fall into the wrong hands. For signatures, this value controls the minimum version of signature that can be verified against. For HMACs, this controls the minimum version of a key allowed to be used as the key for verification.
  • min_encryption_version (int) – Specifies the minimum version of the key that can be used to encrypt plaintext, sign payloads, or generate HMACs. Must be 0 (which will use the latest version) or a value greater or equal to min_decryption_version.
  • deletion_allowed (bool) – Specifies if the key is allowed to be deleted.
  • exportable (bool) – Enables keys to be exportable. This allows for all the valid keys in the key ring to be exported. Once set, this cannot be disabled.
  • allow_plaintext_backup (bool) – If set, enables taking backup of named key in the plaintext format. Once set, this cannot be disabled.
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response

verify_signed_data(name, hash_input, signature=None, hmac=None, hash_algorithm='sha2-256', context='', prehashed=False, signature_algorithm='pss', mount_point='transit')[source]

Return whether the provided signature is valid for the given data.

Supported methods:
POST: /{mount_point}/verify/{name}(/{hash_algorithm}). Produces: 200 application/json
Parameters:
  • name (str | unicode) – Specifies the name of the encryption key that was used to generate the signature or HMAC.
  • hash_input – Specifies the base64 encoded input data.
  • signature (str | unicode) – Specifies the signature output from the /transit/sign function. Either this must be supplied or hmac must be supplied.
  • hmac (str | unicode) – Specifies the signature output from the /transit/hmac function. Either this must be supplied or signature must be supplied.
  • hash_algorithm (str | unicode) – Specifies the hash algorithm to use. This can also be specified as part of the URL. Currently-supported algorithms are: sha2-224, sha2-256, sha2-384, sha2-512
  • context (str | unicode) – Base64 encoded context for key derivation. Required if key derivation is enabled; currently only available with ed25519 keys.
  • prehashed (bool) – Set to true when the input is already hashed. If the key type is rsa-2048 or rsa-4096, then the algorithm used to hash the input should be indicated by the hash_algorithm parameter.
  • signature_algorithm (str | unicode) – When using a RSA key, specifies the RSA signature algorithm to use for signature verification. Supported signature types are: pss, pkcs1v15
  • mount_point (str | unicode) – The “path” the method/backend was mounted on.
Returns:

The JSON response of the request.

Return type:

requests.Response
