The /acl/token endpoints manage Consul's ACL Policies.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
-> **1.4.0+:** The APIs are available in Consul versions 1.4.0 and later. The documentation for the legacy ACL API is [here](/api/acl/legacy.html)
|
|
|
|
# ACL Token HTTP API
|
|
|
|
The `/acl/token` endpoints [create](#create-a-token), [read](#read-a-token),
|
|
[update](#update-a-token), [list](#list-tokens), [clone](#clone-a-token) and [delete](#delete-a-token) ACL policies in Consul.
|
|
|
|
For more information about ACLs, please see the [ACL Guide](/docs/guides/acl.html).
|
|
|
|
## Create a Token
|
|
|
|
This endpoint creates a new ACL token.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
|
| `PUT` | `/acl/token` | `application/json` |
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
|
|
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
|
|
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
|
|
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
|
|
|
|
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
|
|
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `AccessorID` `(string: "")` - Specifies a UUID to use as the token's Accessor ID.
|
|
If not specified a UUID will be generated for this field. Added in v1.5.0.
|
|
|
|
- `SecretID` `(string: "")` - Specifies a UUID to use as the token's Secret ID.
|
|
If not specified a UUID will be generated for this field. Added in v1.5.0.
|
|
**Note**: The SecretID is used to authorize operations against Consul and should
|
|
be generated from an appropriate cryptographic source.
|
|
|
|
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of the token.
|
|
|
|
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - The list of policies that should
|
|
be applied to the token. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name" field
|
|
to specify a policy. With the PolicyLink, tokens can be linked to policies either by the
|
|
policy name or by the policy ID. When policies are linked by name they will be
|
|
internally resolved to the policy ID. With linking tokens internally by IDs,
|
|
Consul enables policy renaming without breaking tokens.
|
|
|
|
- `Local` `(bool: false)` - If true, indicates that the token should not be replicated
|
|
globally and instead be local to the current datacenter.
|
|
|
|

## Read a Token
|
|
|
|
This endpoint reads an ACL token with the given Accessor ID.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
|
| `GET` | `/acl/token/:AccessorID` | `application/json` |
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
|
|
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
|
|
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
|
|
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).
|
|
|
|
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
|
|
| `YES` | `all` | `none` | `acl:read` |
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `AccessorID` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the accessor ID of the ACL token to
|
|
read. This is required and is specified as part of the URL path.
|
|
|
|
### Sample Request
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/acl/token/6a1253d2-1785-24fd-91c2-f8e78c745511
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sample Response
|
|
|
|
-> **Note** If the token used for accessing the API has `acl:write` permissions,
|
|
then the `SecretID` will contain the tokens real value. Only when accessed with
|
|
a token with only `acl:read` permissions will the `SecretID` be redacted. This
|
|
is to prevent privilege escalation whereby having `acl:read` privileges allows
|
|
for reading other secrets which given even more permissions.
|
|
|
|

## Update a Token
|
|
|
|
This endpoint updates an existing ACL token.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|

|
|
| `PUT` | `/acl/token/:AccessorID` | `application/json` |

|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),

|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
|

| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `acl:write` |
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `AccessorID` `(string: "")` - Specifies the accessor ID of the token being updated. This is
|
|
required in the URL path but may also be specified in the JSON body. If specified
|
|
in both places then they must match exactly. This field is immutable. If not present in
|
|
the body and only in the URL then it will be filled in by Consul.
|
|
|
|
- `SecretID` `(string: "")` - Specifies the secret ID of the token being updated. This field is
|
|
immutable so if present in the body then it must match the existing value. If not present
|
|
then the value will be filled in by Consul.
|
|
|
|
- `Description` `(string: "")` - Free form human readable description of this token.
|
|
|
|
- `Policies` `(array<PolicyLink>)` - This is the list of policies that should
|
|
be applied to this token. A PolicyLink is an object with an "ID" and/or "Name" field
|
|
to specify a policy. With this tokens can be linked to policies either by the
|
|
policy name or by the policy ID. When policies are linked by name they will
|
|
internally be resolved to the policy ID. With linking tokens internally by IDs,
|
|
Consul enables policy renaming without breaking tokens.
|
|
|
|
- `Local` `(bool: false)` - If true, indicates that this token should not be replicated
|
|
globally and instead be local to the current datacenter. This value must match the
|
|
existing value or the request will return an error.
|
|
