# Consul ACL Auth Method Update
Command: `consul acl auth-method update`
The `acl auth-method update` command is used to update an auth method. The
default operations is to merge the current auth method with those values
provided to the command invocation. Therefore to update just one field, only
the `-name` options and the option to modify must be provided.
## Usage
Usage: `consul acl auth-method update [options] [args]`
#### API Options
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_client" %>
<%= partial "docs/commands/http_api_options_server" %>
#### Command Options
* `-description=<string>` - A description of the auth method.
* `-kubernetes-ca-cert=<string>` - PEM encoded CA cert for use by the TLS
client used to talk with the Kubernetes API. May be prefixed with '@' to
indicate that the value is a file path to load the cert from. This flag is
required for `-type=kubernetes`.
* `-kubernetes-host=<string>` - Address of the Kubernetes API server. This flag
is required for `-type=kubernetes`.
* `-kubernetes-service-account-jwt=<string>` - A Kubernetes service account JWT
