# Cubbyhole Secrets Engine
|
|
|
|
The `cubbyhole` secrets engine is used to store arbitrary secrets within the
|
|
configured physical storage for Vault namespaced to a token. In `cubbyhole`,
|
|
paths are scoped per token. No token can access another token's cubbyhole. When
|
|
the token expires, its cubbyhole is destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Also unlike the `kv` secrets engine, because the cubbyhole's lifetime is
|
|
linked to that of an authentication token, there is no concept of a TTL or
|
|
refresh interval for values contained in the token's cubbyhole.
|
|
|
|
Writing to a key in the `cubbyhole` secrets engine will completely replace the
|
|
old value.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Most secrets engines must be configured in advance before they can perform their
|
|
functions. These steps are usually completed by an operator or configuration
|
|
management tool.
|
|
|
|
The `cubbyhole` secrets engine is enabled by default. It cannot be disabled,
|
|
moved, or enabled multiple times.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
After the secrets engine is configured and a user/machine has a Vault token with
|
|
the proper permission, it can generate credentials. The `cubbyhole` secrets
|
|
engine allows for writing keys with arbitrary values.
|
|
|
|
1. Write arbitrary data:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ vault write cubbyhole/my-secret my-value=s3cr3t
|
|
Success! Data written to: cubbyhole/my-secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Read arbitrary data:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ vault read cubbyhole/my-secret
|
|
Key Value
|
|
--- -----
|
|
my-value s3cr3t
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
The Cubbyhole secrets engine has a full HTTP API. Please see the
|
|
[Cubbyhole secrets engine API](/api/secret/cubbyhole/index.html) for more
|
|
details.
