  The '/sys/wrapping/rewrap' endpoint can be used to rotate a wrapping token and refresh its TTL
---

# /sys/wrapping/rewrap

## POST

<dl>
  <dt>Description</dt>
  <dd>
    Rewraps a response-wrapped token; the new token will use the same creation
    TTL as the original token and contain the same response. The old token will
    be invalidated. This can be used for long-term storage of a secret in a
    response-wrapped token when rotation is a requirement.
  </dd>
