GCP Secrets Engine (API)

This is the API documentation for the Vault GCP (Google Cloud Platform) secrets engine. For general information about the usage and operation of the GCP secrets engine, please see these docs.

This documentation assumes the GCP secrets engine is enabled at the /gcp path in Vault. Since it is possible to mount secrets engines at any path, please update your API calls accordingly.

Write Config

Method	Path	Produces
POST	/gcp/config	204 (empty body)

This endpoint configures shared information for the secrets engine.

Parameters

• credentials (string:"") - JSON credentials (either file contents or '@path/to/file') See docs for alternative ways to pass in to this parameter, as well as the required permissions.

• ttl (int: 0 || string:"0s") – Specifies default config TTL for long-lived credentials (i.e. service account keys). Accepts integer number of seconds or Go duration format string.

• max_ttl (int: 0 || string:"0s")– Specifies the maximum config TTL for long-lived credentials (i.e. service account keys). Accepts integer number of seconds or Go duration format string.**

Sample Payload

{
  "credentials": "<JSON string>",
  "ttl": 3600,
  "max_ttl": 14400
}

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \

Create/Update Roleset

Method	Path	Produces
POST	/gcp/roleset/:name	204 (empty body)

This method allows you to create a roleset or update an existing roleset. See roleset docs for the GCP secrets backend to learn more about what happens when you create or update a roleset.

If you update a roleset's bindings, this will effectively revoke any secrets generated under this roleset.

Parameters

• name (string: <required>): Required. Name of the role. Cannot be updated.
• secret_type (string: "access_token"): Type of secret generated for this role set. Accepted values: access_token, service_account_key. Cannot be updated.
• project (string: <required>): Name of the GCP project that this roleset's service account will belong to. Cannot be updated.
• bindings (string: <required>): Bindings configuration string (expects HCL or JSON format in raw or base64-encoded string)
• token_scopes (array: []): List of OAuth scopes to assign to access_token secrets generated under this role set (access_token role sets only)

Sample Payload

{
  "secret_type": "access_token",
  "project": "mygcpproject",
  "bindings": "...",
  "token_scopes": [
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/bigquery"
  ]
}

Sample Bindings:

See bindings format docs for more information.

resource "project/mygcpproject" {
  roles = [
    "roles/viewer"
  ],
}

resource "https://selflink/to/my/resource" {
  roles = [
    "project/mygcpproject/roles/projcustomrole",
    "organizations/myorg/roles/orgcustomrole"
  ],
}

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    --data @payload.json \
    https://vault.rocks/v1/gcp/roleset/my-token-roleset

Rotate Roleset Account

Method	Path	Produces
POST	/gcp/roleset/:name/rotate	`204 (empty body)``

This will rotate the service account this roleset uses to generate secrets. (this also replaces the key access_token roleset). This can be used to invalidate old secrets generated by the roleset or fix issues if a roleset's service account (and/or keys) was changed outside of Vault (i.e. through GCP APIs/cloud console).

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    https://vault.rocks/v1/consul/gcp/roleset/my-token-roleset/rotate

Rotate Roleset Account Key (access_token Roleset Only)

Method	Path	Produces
POST	/gcp/roleset/:name/rotate-key	`204 (empty body)``

This will rotate the service account key this roleset uses to generate access tokens. This does not recreate the roleset service account.

Sample Request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    https://vault.rocks/v1/consul/gcp/roleset/my-token-roleset/rotate-key

Read Roleset

Method	Path	Produces
GET	/gcp/roleset/:name	200 application/json

Sample Request

$ curl \

Generate Secret (IAM Service Account Creds): OAuth2 Access Token

GET	POST	/gcp/key/:roleset

These keys are renewable and have TTL/max TTL as defined by either the backend config or the system default if config was not defined.

Parameters

• roleset (string:<required>): Name of an roleset with secret type service_account_key to generate key under.
• key_algorithm (string:"KEY_ALG_RSA_2048"): Key algorithm used to generate key. Defaults to 2k RSA key You probably should not choose other values (i.e. 1k), but accepted values are enum(ServiceAccountKeyAlgorithm)
• key_type (string:"TYPE_GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE): Private key type to generate. Defaults to JSON credentials file. Accepted values are enum(ServiceAccountPrivateKeyType)
