# Consul Secrets Engine (API)
This is the API documentation for the Vault Consul secrets engine. For general
information about the usage and operation of the Consul secrets engine, please
see the [Vault Consul documentation](/docs/secrets/consul/index.html).
This documentation assumes the Consul secrets engine is enabled at the `/consul`
path in Vault. Since it is possible to enable secrets engines at any location,
please update your API calls accordingly.
## Configure Access
This endpoint configures the access information for Consul. This access
information is used so that Vault can communicate with Consul and generate
Consul tokens.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/consul/config/access` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters
- `address` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the address of the Consul
instance, provided as `"host:port"` like `"127.0.0.1:8500"`.
- `scheme` `(string: "http")`  Specifies the URL scheme to use.
- `token` `(string: <required>)` Specifies the Consul ACL token to use. This
must be a management type token.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"address": "127.0.0.1:8500",
"scheme": "https",
"token": "adha..."
}
```
### Sample Request
```
$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/consul/config/access
```
## Create/Update Role
This endpoint creates or updates the Consul role definition. If the role does
not exist, it will be created. If the role already exists, it will receive
updated attributes.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| :------- | :--------------------------- | :--------------------- |
| `POST` | `/consul/roles/:name` | `204 (empty body)` |
### Parameters for Consul version below 1.4
- `name` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the name of an existing role against
which to create this Consul credential. This is part of the request URL.

using this role. Valid values are `"client"` or `"management"`.
- `policy` `(string: <policy or policies>)` Specifies the base64 encoded ACL policy. The
ACL format can be found in the [Consul ACL
documentation](https://www.consul.io/docs/internals/acl.html). This is
required unless the `token_type` is `management`.
- `policies` `(list: <policy or policies>)` The list of policies to assign to the generated
token. This is only available in Consul 1.4 and greater.
- `local` `(bool: false)` - Indicates that the token should not be replicated
globally and instead be local to the current datacenter. Only available in Consul
1.4 and greater.
- `ttl` `(duration: "")`  Specifies the TTL for this role. This is provided
as a string duration with a time suffix like `"30s"` or `"1h"` or as seconds. If not
provided, the default Vault TTL is used.
- `max_ttl` `(duration: "")`  Specifies the max TTL for this role. This is provided
as a string duration with a time suffix like `"30s"` or `"1h"` or as seconds. If not
