# `/sys/unseal`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/unseal` endpoint is used to unseal the Vault.
|
||
|
||
## Submit Unseal Key
|
||
|
||
This endpoint is used to enter a single master key share to progress the
|
||
unsealing of the Vault. If the threshold number of master key shares is reached,
|
||
Vault will attempt to unseal the Vault. Otherwise, this API must be called
|
||
multiple times until that threshold is met.
|
||
|
||
Either the `key` or `reset` parameter must be provided; if both are provided,
|
||
`reset` takes precedence.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
| :----- | :------------ |
|
||
| `PUT` | `/sys/unseal` |
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `key` `(string: "")` – Specifies a single master key share. This is required
|
||
unless `reset` is true.
|
||
|
||
- `reset` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if previously-provided unseal keys are
|
||
discarded and the unseal process is reset.
|
||
|
||
- `migrate` `(bool: false)` - Available in 1.0 - Used to migrate the seal
|
||
from shamir to autoseal or autoseal to shamir. Must be provided on all unseal
|
||
key calls.
|
||
|
||
