# ACL HTTP API
|
|
|
|
-> **1.4.0+:** This API documentation is for Consul versions 1.4.0 and later. The documentation for the legacy ACL API is [here](/api/acl/legacy).
|
|
|
|
The `/acl` endpoints are used to manage ACL tokens and policies in Consul, [bootstrap the ACL system](#bootstrap-acls), [check ACL replication status](#check-acl-replication), and [translate rules](#translate-rules). There are additional pages for managing [tokens](/api/acl/tokens) and [policies](/api/acl/policies) with the `/acl` endpoints.
|
|
|
|
For more information on how to setup ACLs, please check
|
|
the [ACL tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/access-control-setup-production).
|
|
|
|
## Bootstrap ACLs
|
|
|
|
This endpoint does a special one-time bootstrap of the ACL system, making the first
|
|
management token if the [`acl.tokens.master`](/docs/agent/options#acl_tokens_master)
|
|
configuration entry is not specified in the Consul server configuration and if the
|
|
cluster has not been bootstrapped previously. This is available in Consul 0.9.1 and later,
|
|
and requires all Consul servers to be upgraded in order to operate.
|
|
|
|
This provides a mechanism to bootstrap ACLs without having any secrets present in Consul's
|
|
configuration files.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ---------------- | ------------------ |
|
|

|
|
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking),
|
|
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency),

### Sample Request
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ curl \
|
|
--request PUT \
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/acl/bootstrap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sample Response
|
|
|
|
-> **Deprecated** - The `ID` field in the response is for legacy compatibility and is a copy of the `SecretID` field. New
|
|
applications should ignore the `ID` field as it may be removed in a future major Consul version.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"ID": "527347d3-9653-07dc-adc0-598b8f2b0f4d",
|
|
"AccessorID": "b5b1a918-50bc-fc46-dec2-d481359da4e3",
|
|
"SecretID": "527347d3-9653-07dc-adc0-598b8f2b0f4d",
|
|
"Description": "Bootstrap Token (Global Management)",
|
|
"Policies": [
|
|
{
|
|
"ID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001",
|
|
"Name": "global-management"
|
|
}

|
|
"CreateIndex": 12,
|
|
"ModifyIndex": 12
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can detect if something has interfered with the ACL bootstrapping process by
|
|
checking the response code. A 200 response means that the bootstrap was a success, and
|
|
a 403 means that the cluster has already been bootstrapped, at which point you should
|
|
consider the cluster in a potentially compromised state.
|
|
|
|
The returned token will have unrestricted privileges to manage all details of the system.
|
|
It can then be used to further configure the ACL system. Please check the
|
|
[ACL tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/access-control-setup-production) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Check ACL Replication
|
|
|
|
This endpoint returns the status of the ACL replication processes in the
|
|
datacenter. This is intended to be used by operators or by automation checking
|
|
to discover the health of ACL replication.
|
|
|
|
Please check the [ACL Replication tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/access-control-replication-multiple-datacenters)
|
|
for more details.

### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `dc` `(string: "")` - Specifies the datacenter to query. This will default to
|
|
the datacenter of the agent being queried. This is specified as part of the
|
|
URL as a query parameter.
|
|
|
|
### Sample Request
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ curl \
|
|
--request GET \
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/acl/replication
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sample Response
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Enabled": true,
|
|
"Running": true,
|
|
"SourceDatacenter": "dc1",
|
|
"ReplicationType": "tokens",
|
|
"ReplicatedIndex": 1976,
|
|
"ReplicatedTokenIndex": 2018,
|
|
"LastSuccess": "2018-11-03T06:28:58Z",
|
|
"LastError": "2016-11-03T06:28:28Z"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `Enabled` - Reports whether ACL replication is enabled for the datacenter.
|
|
|
|
- `Running` - Reports whether the ACL replication process is running. The process
|
|
may take approximately 60 seconds to begin running after a leader election
|
|
occurs.
|
|
|
|
- `SourceDatacenter` - The authoritative ACL datacenter that ACLs are being
|
|
replicated from and will match the
|
|
[`primary_datacenter`](/docs/agent/options#primary_datacenter) configuration.
|
|
|
|
- `ReplicationType` - The type of replication that is currently in use.
|
|
|
|
- `legacy` - ACL replication is in legacy mode and is replicating legacy ACL tokens.
|
|
|
|
- `policies` - ACL replication is only replicating policies as token replication
|
|
is disabled.
|
|
|
|
- `tokens` - ACL replication is replicating both policies and tokens.
|
|
|
|
- `ReplicatedIndex` - The last index that was successfully replicated. Which data
|
|
the replicated index refers to depends on the replication type. For `legacy`
|
|
replication this can be compared with the value of the `X-Consul-Index` header
|
|
returned by the [`/v1/acl/list`](/api/acl/legacy#list-acls) endpoint to
|
|
determine if the replication process has gotten all available ACLs. When in either
|
|
`tokens` or `policies` mode, this index can be compared with the value of the
|
|
`X-Consul-Index` header returned by the [`/v1/acl/policies`](/api/acl/policies#list-policies)
|
|
endpoint to determine if the policy replication process has gotten all available
|
|
ACL policies. Note that ACL replication is rate limited so the indexes may lag behind
|
|
the primary datacenter.
|
|
|
|
- `ReplicatedTokenIndex` - The last token index that was successfully replicated.
|
|
This index can be compared with the value of the `X-Consul-Index` header returned
|
|
by the [`/v1/acl/tokens`](/api/acl/tokens#list-tokens) endpoint to determine
|
|
if the replication process has gotten all available ACL tokens. Note that ACL
|
|
replication is rate limited so the indexes may lag behind the primary
|
|
datacenter.
|
|
|
|
- `LastSuccess` - The UTC time of the last successful sync operation. Since ACL
|
|
replication is done with a blocking query, this may not update for up to 5
|
|
minutes if there have been no ACL changes to replicate. A zero value of
|
|
"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" will be present if no sync has been successful.
|
|
|
|
- `LastError` - The UTC time of the last error encountered during a sync
|
|
operation. If this time is later than `LastSuccess`, you can assume the
|
|
replication process is not in a good state. A zero value of
|
|
"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" will be present if no sync has resulted in an error.
|
|
|
|
## Translate Rules
|
|
|
|
-> **Deprecated** - This endpoint was introduced in Consul 1.4.0 for migration from the previous ACL system. It
|
|
will be removed in a future major Consul version when support for legacy ACLs is removed.
|
|
|
|
This endpoint translates the legacy rule syntax into the latest syntax. It is intended
|
|
to be used by operators managing Consul's ACLs and performing legacy token to new policy
|
|
migrations.

## Translate a Legacy Token's Rules
|
|
|
|
-> **Deprecated** - This endpoint was introduced in Consul 1.4.0 for migration from the previous ACL system.. It
|
|
will be removed in a future major Consul version when support for legacy ACLs is removed.
|
|
|
|
This endpoint translates the legacy rules embedded within a legacy ACL into the latest
|
|
syntax. It is intended to be used by operators managing Consul's ACLs and performing
|
|
legacy token to new policy migrations. Note that this API requires the auto-generated
|
|
Accessor ID of the legacy token. This ID can be retrieved using the

## Login to Auth Method
|
|
|
|
This endpoint was added in Consul 1.5.0 and is used to exchange an [auth
|
|
method](/docs/acl/auth-methods) bearer token for a newly-created
|
|
Consul ACL token.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ------------ | ------------------ |
|
|
| `POST` | `/acl/login` | `application/json` |

|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
|
|
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `none` |
|
|
|
|
-> **Note** - To use the login process to create tokens in any connected
|
|
secondary datacenter, [ACL
|
|
replication](/docs/agent/options#acl_enable_token_replication) must be
|
|
enabled. Login requires the ability to create local tokens which is restricted
|
|
to the primary datacenter and any secondary datacenters with ACL token
|
|
replication enabled.
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `AuthMethod` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the auth method to use for login.
|
|
|
|
- `BearerToken` `(string: <required>)` - The bearer token to present to the
|
|
auth method during login for authentication purposes. For the Kubernetes auth
|
|
method this is a [Service Account Token
|
|
(JWT)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#service-account-tokens).
|
|
|
|
- `Meta` `(map<string|string>: nil)` - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata
|
|
linked to the token. Can be useful to track origins.
|
|
|
|
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - Specifies the namespace of
|
|
the Auth Method to use for Login. If not provided in the JSON body, the value of
|
|
the `ns` URL query parameter or in the `X-Consul-Namespace` header will be used.
|
|
If not provided, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
|
|
token, or will default to the `default` namespace. Added in Consul 1.7.0.

-> **Note** - To use the login process to create tokens in any connected
|
|
secondary datacenter, [ACL
|
|
replication](/docs/agent/options#acl_enable_token_replication) must be
|
|
enabled. Login requires the ability to create local tokens which is restricted
|
|
to the primary datacenter and any secondary datacenters with ACL token
|
|
replication enabled.
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `AuthMethod` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the auth method to use for
|
|
login. This must be of type [`oidc`](/docs/acl/auth-methods/oidc).
|
|
|
|
- `State` `(string: <required>)` - Opaque state ID that is part of the
|
|
Authorization URL and will be included in the the redirect following
|
|
successful authentication on the provider.
|
|
|
|
- `Code` `(string: <required>)` - Provider-generated authorization code that
|
|
Consul will exchange for an ID token.
|
|
|
|
- `ClientNonce` `(string: "")` - Optional client-provided nonce that must match
|
|
the one provided in the auth url request, if present.
|
|
|
|
- `Meta` `(map<string|string>: nil)` - Specifies arbitrary KV metadata
|
|
linked to the token. Can be useful to track origins.
|
|
|
|
- `Namespace` `(string: "")` <EnterpriseAlert inline /> - Specifies the namespace of
|
|
the Auth Method to use for Login. If not provided in the JSON body, the value of
|
|
the `ns` URL query parameter or in the `X-Consul-Namespace` header will be used.
|
|
If not provided, the namespace will be inherited from the request's ACL
|
|
token, or will default to the `default` namespace.
|
|
|
|
This must match the namespace provided on the [OIDC Callback](#oidc-callback).
