Two PKI improvements: (#5134) 
* Disallow adding CA's serial to revocation list
* Allow disabling revocation list generation. This returns an empty (but
signed) list, but does not affect tracking of revocations so turning it
back on will populate the list properly.

# PKI Secrets Engine (API)
This is the API documentation for the Vault PKI secrets engine. For general
information about the usage and operation of the PKI secrets engine, please see
the [PKI documentation](/docs/secrets/pki/index.html).
This documentation assumes the PKI secrets engine is enabled at the `/pki` path
in Vault. Since it is possible to enable secrets engines at any location, please
update your API calls accordingly.

## Read CA Certificate
This endpoint retrieves the CA certificate *in raw DER-encoded form*. This is a
bare endpoint that does not return a standard Vault data structure and cannot
be read by the Vault CLI; use `/pki/cert` for that. If `/pem` is added to the
endpoint, the CA certificate is returned in PEM format.
This is an unauthenticated endpoint.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/ca(/pem)` | `200 application/binary` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/ca/pem
```
### Sample Response
```
<binary DER-encoded certificate>
```
## Read CA Certificate Chain
This endpoint retrieves the CA certificate chain, including the CA _in PEM
format_. This is a bare endpoint that does not return a standard Vault data
structure and cannot be read by the Vault CLI; use `/pki/cert` for that.
This is an unauthenticated endpoint.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/ca_chain` | `200 application/binary` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/ca_chain
```
### Sample Response
```
<PEM-encoded certificate chain>
```
## Read Certificate
This endpoint retrieves one of a selection of certificates. This endpoint returns the certificate in PEM formatting in the
`certificate` key of the JSON object, which is a standard Vault response that is readable by the Vault CLI.
This is an unauthenticated endpoint.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/cert/:serial` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `serial` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the serial of the key to read.
This is part of the request URL. Valid values for `serial` are:
- `<serial>` for the certificate with the given serial number
- `ca` for the CA certificate
- `crl` for the current CRL
- `ca_chain` for the CA trust chain or a serial number in either hyphen-separated or colon-separated octal format
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/cert/crl
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIIGmDCCBYCgAwIBAgIHBzEB3fTzhTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADCBjDELMAkGA1UE\n..."
}
}
```
## List Certificates
This endpoint returns a list of the current certificates by serial number only.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `LIST` | `/pki/certs` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request LIST \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/certs
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"lease_id":"",
"renewable":false,
"lease_duration":0,
"data":{
"keys":[
"17:67:16:b0:b9:45:58:c0:3a:29:e3:cb:d6:98:33:7a:a6:3b:66:c1",
"26:0f:76:93:73:cb:3f:a0:7a:ff:97:85:42:48:3a:aa:e5:96:03:21"
]
},
"wrap_info":null,
"warnings":null,
"auth":null
}
```
## Submit CA Information
This endpoint allows submitting the CA information for the backend via a PEM
file containing the CA certificate and its private key, concatenated.
May optionally append additional CA certificates. Useful when creating an
intermediate CA to ensure a full chain is returned when signing or generating
certificates.
Not needed if you are generating a self-signed root certificate, and not used
if you have a signed intermediate CA certificate with a generated key (use the
`/pki/intermediate/set-signed` endpoint for that). _If you have already set a
certificate and key, they will be overridden._
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/config/ca` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `pem_bundle` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the key and certificate concatenated in PEM format.
### Sample Request
```text
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data "@payload.json" \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/config/ca
```
Note that if you provide the data through the HTTP API it must be
JSON-formatted, with newlines replaced with `\n`, like so:
```json
{
"pem_bundle": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
}
```
## Read CRL Configuration
This endpoint allows getting the duration for which the generated CRL should be
marked valid.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/config/crl` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/config/crl
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"lease_id": "",
"renewable": false,
"lease_duration": 0,
"data": {
"disable": false,
"expiry": "72h"
},
"auth": null
}
```
## Set CRL Configuration
This endpoint allows setting the duration for which the generated CRL should be
marked valid. If the CRL is disabled, it will return a signed but zero-length
CRL for any request. If enabled, it will re-build the CRL.
~> Note: Disabling the CRL does not affect whether revoked certificates are
stored internally. Certificates that have been revoked when a role's
certificate storage is enabled will continue to be marked and stored as
revoked until `tidy` has been run with the desired safety buffer. Re-enabling
CRL generation will then result in all such certificates becoming a part of
the CRL.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/config/crl` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `expiry` `(string: "72h")` – Specifies the time until expiration.
- `disable` `(bool: false)` – Disables or enables CRL building.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"expiry": "48h"
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/config/crl
```
## Read URLs
This endpoint fetches the URLs to be encoded in generated certificates.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/config/urls` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/config/urls
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"lease_id": "",
"renewable": false,
"lease_duration": 0,
"data": {
"issuing_certificates": ["<url1>", "<url2>"],
"crl_distribution_points": ["<url1>", "<url2>"],
"ocsp_servers": ["<url1>", "<url2>"]
},
"auth": null
}
```
## Set URLs
This endpoint allows setting the issuing certificate endpoints, CRL distribution
points, and OCSP server endpoints that will be encoded into issued certificates.
You can update any of the values at any time without affecting the other
existing values. To remove the values, simply use a blank string as the
parameter.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/config/urls` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `issuing_certificates` `(array<string>: nil)` – Specifies the URL values for
the Issuing Certificate field. This can be an array or a comma-separated
string list.
- `crl_distribution_points` `(array<string>: nil)` – Specifies the URL values
for the CRL Distribution Points field. This can be an array or a
comma-separated string list.
- `ocsp_servers` `(array<string>: nil)` – Specifies the URL values for the OCSP
Servers field. This can be an array or a comma-separated string list.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"ocsp_servers": ["https://..."]
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/config/urls
```
## Read CRL
This endpoint retrieves the current CRL **in raw DER-encoded form**. This
endpoint is suitable for usage in the CRL Distribution Points extension in a CA
certificate. This is a bare endpoint that does not return a standard Vault data
structure and cannot be parsed by the Vault CLI; use `/pki/cert/crl` in that case.
If `/pem` is added to the endpoint, the CRL is returned in PEM format.
This is an unauthenticated endpoint.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/crl(/pem)` | `200 application/binary` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/crl/pem
```
### Sample Response
```
<binary DER-encoded CRL>
```
## Rotate CRLs
This endpoint forces a rotation of the CRL. This can be used by administrators
to cut the size of the CRL if it contains a number of certificates
that have now expired, but has not been rotated due to no further
certificates being revoked.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `GET` | `/pki/crl/rotate` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/crl/rotate
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"success": true
}
}
```
## Generate Intermediate
This endpoint generates a new private key and a CSR for signing. If using Vault
as a root, and for many other CAs, the various parameters on the final
certificate are set at signing time and may or may not honor the parameters set
here. _This will overwrite any previously existing CA private key._
This is mostly meant as a helper function, and not all possible parameters that
can be set in a CSR are supported.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/intermediate/generate/:type` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `type` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the type of the intermediate to
create. If `exported`, the private key will be returned in the response; if
`internal` the private key will not be returned and *cannot be retrieved
later*. This is part of the request URL.
- `common_name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the requested CN for the
certificate.
- `alt_names` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list. These can be host names or email addresses;
they will be parsed into their respective fields.
- `ip_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested IP Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list.
- `uri_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested URI Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list.
- `other_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies custom OID/UTF8-string SANs. These
must match values specified on the role in `allowed_other_sans` (globbing
allowed). The format is the same as OpenSSL: `<oid>;<type>:<value>` where the
only current valid type is `UTF8`. This can be a comma-delimited list or a
JSON string slice.
- `format` `(string: "")` – Specifies the format for returned data. This can be
`pem`, `der`, or `pem_bundle`; defaults to `pem`. If `der`, the output is
base64 encoded. If `pem_bundle`, the `csr` field will contain the private key
(if exported) and CSR, concatenated.
- `private_key_format` `(string: "")` – Specifies the format for marshaling the
private key. Defaults to `der` which will return either base64-encoded DER or
PEM-encoded DER, depending on the value of `format`. The other option is
`pkcs8` which will return the key marshalled as PEM-encoded PKCS8.
- `key_type` `(string: "rsa")` – Specifies the desired key type; must be `rsa`
or `ec`.
- `key_bits` `(int: 2048)` – Specifies the number of bits to use. This must be
changed to a valid value if the `key_type` is `ec`.
- `exclude_cn_from_sans` `(bool: false)` – If true, the given `common_name` will
not be included in DNS or Email Subject Alternate Names (as appropriate).
Useful if the CN is not a hostname or email address, but is instead some
human-readable identifier.
- `ou` `(string: "")` – Specifies the OU (OrganizationalUnit) values in the
subject field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string
or JSON array.
- `organization` `(string: "")` – Specifies the O (Organization) values in the
subject field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string
or JSON array.
- `country` `(string: "")` – Specifies the C (Country) values in the subject
field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string or JSON
array.
- `locality` `(string: "")` – Specifies the L (Locality) values in the subject
field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string or JSON
array.
- `province` `(string: "")` – Specifies the ST (Province) values in the subject
field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string or JSON
array.
- `street_address` `(string: "")` – Specifies the Street Address values in the
subject field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string
or JSON array.
- `postal_code` `(string: "")` – Specifies the Postal Code values in the
subject field of the resulting CSR. This is a comma-separated string
or JSON array.
### Sample Payload

{
"common_name": "www.example.com"
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \

"private_key_type": "rsa"
},
"warnings": null,
"auth": null
}
```
## Set Signed Intermediate
This endpoint allows submitting the signed CA certificate corresponding to a
private key generated via `/pki/intermediate/generate`. The certificate should
be submitted in PEM format; see the documentation for `/pki/config/ca` for some
hints on submitting.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/intermediate/set-signed` | `204 (empty body)` |
## Parameters
- `certificate` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the certificate in PEM
format. May optionally append additional CA certificates to populate the
whole chain, which will then enable returning the full chain from issue and
sign operations.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"certificate": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE..."
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/intermediate/set-signed
```
## Generate Certificate
This endpoint generates a new set of credentials (private key and certificate)
based on the role named in the endpoint. The issuing CA certificate is returned
as well, so that only the root CA need be in a client's trust store.
**The private key is _not_ stored. If you do not save the private key, you will
need to request a new certificate.**
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/issue/:name` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the name of the role to create the
certificate against. This is part of the request URL.
- `common_name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the requested CN for the
certificate. If the CN is allowed by role policy, it will be issued.
- `alt_names` `(string: "")` – Specifies requested Subject Alternative Names, in
a comma-delimited list. These can be host names or email addresses; they will
be parsed into their respective fields. If any requested names do not match
role policy, the entire request will be denied.
- `ip_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies requested IP Subject Alternative Names,
in a comma-delimited list. Only valid if the role allows IP SANs (which is the
default).
- `uri_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested URI Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list.
- `other_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies custom OID/UTF8-string SANs. These
must match values specified on the role in `allowed_other_sans` (globbing
allowed). The format is the same as OpenSSL: `<oid>;<type>:<value>` where the
only current valid type is `UTF8`. This can be a comma-delimited list or a
JSON string slice.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies requested Time To Live. Cannot be greater
than the role's `max_ttl` value. If not provided, the role's `ttl` value will
be used. Note that the role values default to system values if not explicitly
set.
- `format` `(string: "")` – Specifies the format for returned data. Can be
`pem`, `der`, or `pem_bundle`; defaults to `pem`. If `der`, the output is
base64 encoded. If `pem_bundle`, the `certificate` field will contain the
private key and certificate, concatenated; if the issuing CA is not a
Vault-derived self-signed root, this will be included as well.
- `private_key_format` `(string: "")` – Specifies the format for marshaling the
private key. Defaults to `der` which will return either base64-encoded DER or
PEM-encoded DER, depending on the value of `format`. The other option is
`pkcs8` which will return the key marshalled as PEM-encoded PKCS8.
- `exclude_cn_from_sans` `(bool: false)` – If true, the given `common_name` will
not be included in DNS or Email Subject Alternate Names (as appropriate).
Useful if the CN is not a hostname or email address, but is instead some
human-readable identifier.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"common_name": "www.example.com"
}
```

```
## Revoke Certificate
This endpoint revokes a certificate using its serial number. This is an
alternative option to the standard method of revoking using Vault lease IDs. A
successful revocation will rotate the CRL.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/revoke` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `serial_number` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the serial number of the
certificate to revoke, in hyphen-separated or colon-separated octal.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"serial_number": "39:dd:2e..."
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/revoke
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"data": {
"revocation_time": 1433269787
}
}
```
## Create/Update Role
This endpoint creates or updates the role definition. Note that the
`allowed_domains`, `allow_subdomains`, `allow_glob_domains`, and
`allow_any_name` attributes are additive; between them nearly and across
multiple roles nearly any issuing policy can be accommodated. `server_flag`,
`client_flag`, and `code_signing_flag` are additive as well. If a client
requests a certificate that is not allowed by the CN policy in the role, the
request is denied.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/roles/:name` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the name of the role to create. This
is part of the request URL.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies the Time To Live value provided as a string
duration with time suffix. Hour is the largest suffix. If not set, uses the
system default value or the value of `max_ttl`, whichever is shorter.
- `max_ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies the maximum Time To Live provided as a
string duration with time suffix. Hour is the largest suffix. If not set,
defaults to the system maximum lease TTL.
- `allow_localhost` `(bool: true)` – Specifies if clients can request
certificates for `localhost` as one of the requested common names. This is
useful for testing and to allow clients on a single host to talk securely.
- `allowed_domains` `(list: [])` – Specifies the domains of the role. This is
used with the `allow_bare_domains` and `allow_subdomains` options.
- `allow_bare_domains` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if clients can request
certificates matching the value of the actual domains themselves; e.g. if a
configured domain set with `allowed_domains` is `example.com`, this allows
clients to actually request a certificate containing the name `example.com` as
one of the DNS values on the final certificate. In some scenarios, this can be
considered a security risk.
- `allow_subdomains` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if clients can request
certificates with CNs that are subdomains of the CNs allowed by the other role
options. _This includes wildcard subdomains._ For example, an
`allowed_domains` value of `example.com` with this option set to true will
allow `foo.example.com` and `bar.example.com` as well as `*.example.com`. This
is redundant when using the `allow_any_name` option.
- `allow_glob_domains` `(bool: false)` - Allows names specified in
`allowed_domains` to contain glob patterns (e.g. `ftp*.example.com`). Clients
will be allowed to request certificates with names matching the glob
patterns.
- `allow_any_name` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if clients can request any CN.
Useful in some circumstances, but make sure you understand whether it is
appropriate for your installation before enabling it.
- `enforce_hostnames` `(bool: true)` – Specifies if only valid host names are
allowed for CNs, DNS SANs, and the host part of email addresses.
- `allow_ip_sans` `(bool: true)` – Specifies if clients can request IP Subject
Alternative Names. No authorization checking is performed except to verify
that the given values are valid IP addresses.
- `allowed_uri_sans` `(string: "")` - Defines allowed URI Subject
Alternative Names. No authorization checking is performed except to verify
that the given values are valid URIs. This can be a comma-delimited list or
a JSON string slice. Values can contain glob patterns (e.g.
`spiffe://hostname/*`).
- `allowed_other_sans` `(string: "")` – Defines allowed custom OID/UTF8-string
SANs. This field supports globbing. The format is the same as OpenSSL:
`<oid>;<type>:<value>` where the only current valid type is `UTF8`. This can
be a comma-delimited list or a JSON string slice.
- `server_flag` `(bool: true)` – Specifies if certificates are flagged for
server use.
- `client_flag` `(bool: true)` – Specifies if certificates are flagged for
client use.
- `code_signing_flag` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if certificates are flagged
for code signing use.
- `email_protection_flag` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if certificates are
flagged for email protection use.
- `key_type` `(string: "rsa")` – Specifies the type of key to generate for
generated private keys and the type of key expected for submitted CSRs.
Currently, `rsa` and `ec` are supported, or when signing CSRs `any` can be
specified to allow keys of either type and with any bit size (subject to >
1024 bits for RSA keys).
- `key_bits` `(int: 2048)` – Specifies the number of bits to use for the
generated keys. This will need to be changed for `ec` keys. See
https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/elliptic/#Curve for an overview of allowed bit
lengths for `ec`.
- `key_usage` `(list: ["DigitalSignature", "KeyAgreement", "KeyEncipherment"])` –
Specifies the allowed key usage constraint on issued certificates. Valid
values can be found at https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#KeyUsage - simply
drop the `KeyUsage` part of the value. Values are not case-sensitive. To
specify no key usage constraints, set this to an empty list.
- `ext_key_usage` `(list: [])` –
Specifies the allowed extended key usage constraint on issued certificates. Valid
values can be found at https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#ExtKeyUsage - simply
drop the `ExtKeyUsage` part of the value. Values are not case-sensitive. To
specify no key usage constraints, set this to an empty list.
- `use_csr_common_name` `(bool: true)` – When used with the CSR signing
endpoint, the common name in the CSR will be used instead of taken from the
JSON data. This does `not` include any requested SANs in the CSR; use
`use_csr_sans` for that.
- `use_csr_sans` `(bool: true)` – When used with the CSR signing endpoint, the
subject alternate names in the CSR will be used instead of taken from the JSON
data. This does `not` include the common name in the CSR; use
`use_csr_common_name` for that.
- `ou` `(string: "")` – Specifies the OU (OrganizationalUnit) values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `organization` `(string: "")` – Specifies the O (Organization) values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `country` `(string: "")` – Specifies the C (Country) values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `locality` `(string: "")` – Specifies the L (Locality) values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `province` `(string: "")` – Specifies the ST (Province) values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `street_address` `(string: "")` – Specifies the Street Address values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `postal_code` `(string: "")` – Specifies the Postal Code values in the
subject field of issued certificates. This is a comma-separated string or
JSON array.
- `generate_lease` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if certificates issued/signed
against this role will have Vault leases attached to them. Certificates can be
added to the CRL by `vault revoke <lease_id>` when certificates are associated
with leases. It can also be done using the `pki/revoke` endpoint. However,
when lease generation is disabled, invoking `pki/revoke` would be the only way
to add the certificates to the CRL. When large number of certificates are
generated with long lifetimes, it is recommended that lease generation be
disabled, as large amount of leases adversely affect the startup time of
Vault.
- `no_store` `(bool: false)` – If set, certificates issued/signed against this
role will not be stored in the storage backend. This can improve performance
when issuing large numbers of certificates. However, certificates issued in
this way cannot be enumerated or revoked, so this option is recommended only
for certificates that are non-sensitive, or extremely short-lived. This
option implies a value of `false` for `generate_lease`.
- `require_cn` `(bool: true)` - If set to false, makes the `common_name` field
optional while generating a certificate.
- `policy_identifiers` `(list: [])` – A comma-separated string or list of policy
oids.
- `basic_constraints_valid_for_non_ca` `(bool: false)` - Mark Basic Constraints
valid when issuing non-CA certificates.

}
```
## List Roles
This endpoint returns a list of available roles. Only the role names are
returned, not any values.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `LIST` | `/pki/roles` | `200 application/json` |
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request LIST \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/roles
```
### Sample Response

"auth": null,
"data": {
"keys": ["dev", "prod"]
},
"lease_duration": 2764800,
"lease_id": "",
"renewable": false
}
```
## Delete Role
This endpoint deletes the role definition. Deleting a role **does not**
revoke certificates previously issued under this role.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `DELETE` | `/pki/roles/:name` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the name of the role to delete. This
is part of the request URL.

```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request DELETE \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/roles/my-role
```
## Generate Root
This endpoint generates a new self-signed CA certificate and private key. If
the path ends with `exported`, the private key will be returned in the
response; if it is `internal` the private key will not be returned and *cannot
be retrieved later*. Distribution points use the values set via `config/urls`.
As with other issued certificates, Vault will automatically revoke the
generated root at the end of its lease period; the CA certificate will sign its
own CRL.
As of Vault 0.8.1, if a CA cert/key already exists, this function will return a
204 and will not overwrite it. Previous versions of Vault would overwrite the
existing cert/key with new values.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/root/generate/:type` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `type` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the type of the root to
create. If `exported`, the private key will be returned in the response; if
`internal` the private key will not be returned and *cannot be retrieved
later*. This is part of the request URL.
- `common_name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the requested CN for the
certificate.
- `alt_names` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list. These can be host names or email addresses;
they will be parsed into their respective fields.
- `ip_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested IP Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list.
- `uri_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested URI Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list.
- `other_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies custom OID/UTF8-string SANs. These
must match values specified on the role in `allowed_other_sans` (globbing
allowed). The format is the same as OpenSSL: `<oid>;<type>:<value>` where the
only current valid type is `UTF8`. This can be a comma-delimited list or a
JSON string slice.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Time To Live (after which the
certificate will be expired). This cannot be larger than the engine's max (or,
if not set, the system max).
- `format` `(string: "pem")` – Specifies the format for returned data. Can be
`pem`, `der`, or `pem_bundle`. If `der`, the output is base64 encoded. If
`pem_bundle`, the `certificate` field will contain the private key (if
exported) and certificate, concatenated; if the issuing CA is not a
Vault-derived self-signed root, this will be included as well.
- `private_key_format` `(string: "")` – Specifies the format for marshaling the
private key. Defaults to `der` which will return either base64-encoded DER or
PEM-encoded DER, depending on the value of `format`. The other option is
`pkcs8` which will return the key marshalled as PEM-encoded PKCS8.
- `key_type` `(string: "rsa")` – Specifies the desired key type; must be `rsa`
or `ec`.

changed to a valid value if the `key_type` is `ec`.
- `max_path_length` `(int: -1)` – Specifies the maximum path length to encode in
the generated certificate. `-1` means no limit. Unless the signing certificate
has a maximum path length set, in which case the path length is set to one
less than that of the signing certificate. A limit of `0` means a literal
path length of zero.
- `exclude_cn_from_sans` `(bool: false)` – If set, the given `common_name` will
not be included in DNS or Email Subject Alternate Names (as appropriate).
Useful if the CN is not a hostname or email address, but is instead some
human-readable identifier.
- `permitted_dns_domains` `(string: "")` – A comma separated string (or, string
array) containing DNS domains for which certificates are allowed to be issued
or signed by this CA certificate. Note that subdomains are allowed, as per

## Delete Root
This endpoint deletes the current CA key (the old CA certificate will still be
accessible for reading until a new certificate/key are generated or uploaded).
_This endpoint requires sudo/root privileges._
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |

## Sign Intermediate
This endpoint uses the configured CA certificate to issue a certificate with
appropriate values for acting as an intermediate CA. Distribution points use the
values set via `config/urls`. Values set in the CSR are ignored unless
`use_csr_values` is set to true, in which case the values from the CSR are used
verbatim.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/root/sign-intermediate` | `200 application/json` |

}
```
## Sign Self-Issued
This endpoint uses the configured CA certificate to sign a self-issued
certificate (which will usually be a self-signed certificate as well).
**_This is an extremely privileged endpoint_**. The given certificate will be
signed as-is with only minimal validation performed (is it a CA cert, and is it
actually self-issued). The only values that will be changed will be the
authority key ID, the issuer DN, and, if set, any distribution points.
This is generally only needed for root certificate rolling in cases where you
don't want/can't get access to a CSR (such as if it's a root stored in Vault
where the key is not exposed). If you don't know whether you need this
endpoint, you most likely should be using a different endpoint (such as
`sign-intermediate`).
This endpoint requires `sudo` capability.

## Sign Certificate
This endpoint signs a new certificate based upon the provided CSR and the
supplied parameters, subject to the restrictions contained in the role named in
the endpoint. The issuing CA certificate is returned as well, so that only the
root CA need be in a client's trust store.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/sign/:name` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `csr` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the PEM-encoded CSR.
- `common_name` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the requested CN for the
certificate. If the CN is allowed by role policy, it will be issued.
- `alt_names` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list. These can be host names or email addresses;
they will be parsed into their respective fields. If any requested names do
not match role policy, the entire request will be denied.
- `other_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies custom OID/UTF8-string SANs. These
must match values specified on the role in `allowed_other_sans` (globbing
allowed). The format is the same as OpenSSL: `<oid>;<type>:<value>` where the
only current valid type is `UTF8`. This can be a comma-delimited list or a
JSON string slice.
- `ip_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested IP Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list. Only valid if the role allows IP SANs (which
is the default).
- `uri_sans` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested URI Subject Alternative
Names, in a comma-delimited list. If any requested URIs do not match role policy,
the entire request will be denied.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Time To Live. Cannot be greater
than the role's `max_ttl` value. If not provided, the role's `ttl` value will
be used. Note that the role values default to system values if not explicitly
set.
- `format` `(string: "pem")` – Specifies the format for returned data. Can be
`pem`, `der`, or `pem_bundle`. If `der`, the output is base64 encoded. If
`pem_bundle`, the `certificate` field will contain the certificate and, if the
issuing CA is not a Vault-derived self-signed root, it will be concatenated
with the certificate.
- `exclude_cn_from_sans` `(bool: false)` – If set, the given `common_name` will
not be included in DNS or Email Subject Alternate Names (as appropriate).
Useful if the CN is not a hostname or email address, but is instead some
human-readable identifier.

## Sign Verbatim
This endpoint signs a new certificate based upon the provided CSR. Values are
taken verbatim from the CSR; the _only_ restriction is that this endpoint will
refuse to issue an intermediate CA certificate (see the
`/pki/root/sign-intermediate` endpoint for that functionality.)
**This is a potentially dangerous endpoint and only highly trusted users should
have access.**
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :----------------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/sign-verbatim(/:name)` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: "")` - Specifies a role. If set, the following parameters
from the role will have effect: `ttl`, `max_ttl`, `generate_lease`, and
`no_store`.
- `csr` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the PEM-encoded CSR.
- `key_usage` `(list: ["DigitalSignature", "KeyAgreement", "KeyEncipherment"])` –
Specifies the allowed key usage constraint on issued certificates. Valid
values can be found at https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#KeyUsage - simply
drop the `KeyUsage` part of the value. Values are not case-sensitive. To
specify no key usage constraints, set this to an empty list.
- `ext_key_usage` `(list: [])` –
Specifies the allowed extended key usage constraint on issued certificates. Valid
values can be found at https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#ExtKeyUsage - simply
drop the `ExtKeyUsage` part of the value. Values are not case-sensitive. To
specify no key usage constraints, set this to an empty list.
- `ttl` `(string: "")` – Specifies the requested Time To Live. Cannot be greater
than the engine's `max_ttl` value. If not provided, the engine's `ttl` value
will be used, which defaults to system values if not explicitly set.
- `format` `(string: "pem")` – Specifies the format for returned data. Can be
`pem`, `der`, or `pem_bundle`. If `der`, the output is base64 encoded. If
`pem_bundle`, the `certificate` field will contain the certificate and, if the
issuing CA is not a Vault-derived self-signed root, it will be concatenated
with the certificate.

## Tidy
This endpoint allows tidying up the storage backend and/or CRL by removing
certificates that have expired and are past a certain buffer period beyond their
expiration time.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/pki/tidy` | `200 application/json` |
### Parameters
- `tidy_cert_store` `(bool: false)` Specifies whether to tidy up the certificate
store.
- `tidy_revocation_list` `(bool: false)` Specifies whether to tidy up the
revocation list (CRL).
- `tidy_revoked_certs` `(bool: false)` Set to true to expire all revoked
certificates, even if their duration has not yet passed. This will cause these
certificates to be removed from the CRL the next time the CRL is generated.
- `safety_buffer` `(string: "")` Specifies A duration (given as an integer
number of seconds or a string; defaults to `72h`) used as a safety buffer to
ensure certificates are not expunged prematurely; as an example, this can keep
certificates from being removed from the CRL that, due to clock skew, might
still be considered valid on other hosts. For a certificate to be expunged,
the time must be after the expiration time of the certificate (according to
the local clock) plus the duration of `safety_buffer`.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"safety_buffer": "24h"
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--request POST \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/pki/tidy
