# `/sys/managed-keys`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/managed-keys` endpoint is used to manage the Managed Key configuration within Vault.
|
||
See the [Managed Keys](/docs/enterprise/managed-keys) section for further details on the Managed Keys system.
|
||
|
||
## List managed keys.
|
||
|
||
This endpoint lists all the Managed Keys of a certain type within the namespace.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
|:-------|:--------------------------|
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
- `type` `(string: <required>)` – The backend type of keys to be listed.
|
||
Supported options are `pkcs11`, `awskms` and `azurekeyvault`.
|
||
|
||
### Sample Request
|
||
|
||
```shell-session
|
||
$ curl \
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Generic Parameters
|
||
- `name` `(string: <required>)` - A unique lowercase name that serves as identifying the key. Must be
|
||
unique throughout all types in the namespace.
|
||
|
||
- `type` `(string: <required>)` – The backend type that will be leveraged for the managed key.
|
||
Supported options are `pkcs11`, `awskms` and `azurekeyvault`.
|
||
|
||
- `allow_generate_key` `(string: "false")` - If no existing key can be found in the referenced backend, instructs
|
||
Vault to generate a key within the backend.
|
||
|
||
- `allow_replace_key` `(string: "false")` - Controls the ability for Vault to replace through generation or importing
|
||
a key into the configured backend even if a key is present, if set to false those operations are forbidden
|
||
if a key exists.
|
||
|
||
- `allow_store_key` `(string: "false")` - Controls the ability for Vault to import a key
|
||
to the configured backend, if "false" those operations will be forbidden.
|
||
|
||
- `any_mount` `(string: "false")` - Allow usage from any mount point within the namespace if "true". If "false"
|
||
specific mount points will need their `allowed_managed_keys` parameter to be updated with the key name to
|
||
grant usage.
|
||
|
||
#### PKCS#11 backend Parameters
|
||
|
||
~> NOTE: The `pkcs11` backend is only available with Vault Enterprise Plus (HSMs) edition
|
||
|
||
- `type` `(string: "pkcs11")` - To select a PKCS#11 backend, the type parameter must be set to `pkcs11`.
|
||
|
||
- `library` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the `kms_library` stanza to use from Vault's config to
|
||
lookup the local library path. See [kms_library stanza](/docs/configuration/kms-library) for further details.
|
||
|
||
- `key_label` `(string: <required>)` - The label of the key to use. If the key does not exist
|
||
and generation is enabled, this is the label that will be given to the generated key. This
|
||
value or `key_id` must be specified.
|
||
|
||
- `key_id` `(string: <required>)` - The id of a PKCS#11 key to use. As key ids are created by
|
||
the HSM, it is an error if the key does not yet exist. This value or `key_label` must be
|
||
specified.
|
||
|
||
- `mechanism` `(string: <required>)` - The encryption/decryption mechanism to use,
|
||
specified as a hexadecimal (prefixed by 0x) string. The following are supported mechanisms
|
||
- `0x1041` `CKM_ECDSA`
|
||
- `0x000D` `CKM_RSA_PKCS_PSS`
|
||
- `0x0009` `CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP`
|
||
- `0x0001` `CKM_RSA_PKCS`
|
||
|
||
- `pin` `(string: <required>)`: The PIN for login.
|
||
|
||
- `slot` `(string: <slot or token label required>)`: The slot number to use,
|
||
specified as a string in a decimal format (e.g. `"2305843009213693953"`).
|
||
|
||
~> **Note**: Slots are typically listed as hex-decimal values in the OS setup
|
||
utility but this configuration uses their decimal equivalent. For example, using the
|
||
HSM command-line `pkcs11-tool`, a slot listed as `0x2000000000000001`in hex is equal
|
||
to `2305843009213693953` in decimal; these values may be listed shorter or
|
||
differently as determined by the HSM in use.
|
||
|
||
- `token_label` `(string: <slot or token label required>)`: The slot token label to
|
||
use.
|
||
|
||
- `curve` `(string: "" <required if allow_generate_key is true>)` - supplies the curve value when using the `CKM_ECDSA mechanism`.
|
||
The supported values are
|
||
- `P384`
|
||
- `P521`
|
||
- `P256`
|
||
|
||
- `key_bits` `(int: 0 <required if allow_generate_key is true>)` - supplies the size in bits of the key when using `CKM_RSA_PKCS_PSS`,
|
||
`CKM_RSA_PKCS_OAEP` or `CKM_RSA_PKCS` as a value for `mechanism`.
|
||
The supported values are
|
||
- 2048
|
||
- 3072
|
||
- 4096
|
||
|
||
- `force_rw_session` `(string: "false")` - Force all operations to open up
|
||
a read-write session to the HSM. This is a boolean expressed as a string (e.g.
|
||
`"true"`). This key is mainly to work around a limitation within AWS's CloudHSM v5
|
||
pkcs11 implementation.
|
||
|
||
- `max_parallel` `(int: 1)` - The number of concurrent requests that may be in
|
||
flight to the HSM at any given time.
|
||
|
||
#### AWS KMS Parameters
|
||
- `type` `(string: "awskms")` - To select an AWS KMS backend, the type parameter must be set to `awskms`.
|
||
|

- `access_key` `(string: <required>)`: The AWS access key to use. This may also be provided in
|
||
the `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` environment variable or as part of the AWS profile from the AWS CLI or
|
||
instance profile.
|
||
|
||
- `curve` `(string: "" <required if allow_generate_key is true>)`: The curve to use for an ECDSA key.
|
||
This field is used when `key_type` is `ECDSA`. Supported options are `P256`, `P384`, or `P521`.
|
||
|
||
- `endpoint` `(string: "")`: Used to specify a custom AWS endpoint. If not set, Vault will use
|
||
the default API endpoint for your region.
|
||
|
||
- `key_bits` `(string: <required>)`: The size in bits for an RSA key. This field is required when
|
||
`key_type` is `RSA`. Supported values are `2048`, `3072`, and `4096`.
|
||
|
||
- `key_type` `(string: <required>)`: The type of key to use. Supported values are `RSA` and
|
||
`ECDSA` (not case sensitive). If the key type is `RSA`, the `key_bits` field is also required.
|
||
If the key type is `ECDSA`, the `curve` field is required.
|
||
|
||
- `kms_key` `(string: <required>)`: An identifier for the key. If `allow_generate_key` is set to
|
||
`false`, the value can be either an ARN, an AWS alias, or the key ID generated by AWS KMS. If
|
||
`allow_generate_key` is set to `true`, the value must be an AWS alias. If a key with the provided
|
||
alias does not already exist, Vault will generate a key and create an alias for it using this parameter.
|
||
|
||
~> **Note**: when creating a key through AWS KMS to be used with managed keys, note
|
||
that the key usage must be `SIGN_VERIFY`. When using an elliptic curve key, the
|
||
combination `key_type=ECDSA` and `curve=P256` corresponds to the AWS Key Spec
|
||
`ECC_NIST_P256`.
|
||
|
||
- `region` `(string: "us-east-1")`: The AWS region where the keys are stored (or will be stored).
|
||
This may also be provided in the `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` environment variables,
|
||
from your `~/.aws/config` file, or from instance metadata.
|
||
|
||
- `secret_key` `(string: <required>)`: The AWS secret key ID to use. This may also be provided in
|
||
the `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variable or as part of the AWS profile from the AWS CLI
|
||
or instance profile.
