# MongoDB Atlas Database Secrets Engine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MongoDB Atlas is one of the supported plugins for the database secrets engine. This
|
|
|
|
|
plugin generates database credentials dynamically based on configured roles for
|
|
|
|
|
MongoDB Atlas databases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the [database secrets engine](/docs/secrets/databases) docs for
|
|
|
|
|
more information about setting up the database secrets engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Enable the database secrets engine if it is not already enabled:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
|
$ vault secrets enable database
|
|
|
|
|
Success! Enabled the database secrets engine at: database/
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the secrets engine will enable at the name of the engine. To
|
|
|
|
|
enable the secrets engine at a different path, use the `-path` argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Configure Vault with the proper plugin and connection information:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
|
$ vault write database/config/my-mongodbatlas-database \
|
|
|
|
|
plugin_name=mongodbatlas-database-plugin \
|
|
|
|
|
allowed_roles="my-role" \
|
|
|
|
|
public_key="jmskfortvf" \
|
|
|
|
|
private_key="ea6acbc7-8a30-4a3f-812e-6f869c08bcd1" \
|
|
|
|
|
project_id="4f96cad208574fd14aa8dda3a"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Configure a role that maps a name in Vault to a MongoDB Atlas command that executes and
|
|
|
|
|
creates the database user credential:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
|
|
|
$ vault write database/roles/my-role \
|
|
|
|
|
db_name=my-mongodbatlas-database \
|
2020-04-09 22:21:09 +00:00
|
|
|
creation_statements='{"database_name": "admin","roles": [{"databaseName":"admin","roleName":"atlasAdmin"}]}' \
|
2020-02-07 22:09:39 +00:00
|
|
|
default_ttl="1h" \
|
|
|
|
|
max_ttl="24h"
|
|
|
|
|
Success! Data written to: database/roles/my-role
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the secrets engine is configured and a user/machine has a Vault token with
|
|
|
|
|
the proper permissions, it can generate credentials.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Generate a new credential by reading from the `/creds` endpoint with the name
|
|
|
|
|
of the role:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ vault read database/creds/my-role
|
|
|
|
|
Key Value
