|
|
The "token create" command creates a new token that can be used for
|
|
authentication. This token will be created as a child of the currently
|
|
authenticated token. The generated token will inherit all policies and
|
|
permissions of the currently authenticated token unless you explicitly define
|
|
a subset list policies to assign to the token.

# token create
|
|
|
|
The `token create` command creates a new token that can be used for
|
|
authentication. This token will be created as a child of the currently
|
|
authenticated token. The generated token will inherit all policies and
|
|
permissions of the currently authenticated token unless you explicitly define a
|
|
subset list policies to assign to the token.
|
|
|
|
A ttl can also be associated with the token. If a ttl is not associated with the
|
|
token, then it cannot be renewed. If a ttl is associated with the token, it will
|
|
expire after that amount of time unless it is renewed.
|
|
|
|
Metadata associated with the token (specified with `-metadata`) is written to
|
|
the audit log when the token is used.
|
|
|
|
If a role is specified, the role may override parameters specified here.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Create a token attached to specific policies:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault token create -policy=my-policy -policy=other-policy
|
|
Key Value
|
|
--- -----
|
|
token 95eba8ed-f6fc-958a-f490-c7fd0eda5e9e
|
|
token_accessor 882d4a40-3796-d06e-c4f0-604e8503750b
|
|
token_duration 768h
|
|
token_renewable true
|
|
token_policies [default my-policy other-policy]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a periodic token:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault token create -period=30m
|
|
Key Value
|
|
--- -----
|
|
token fdb90d58-af87-024f-fdcd-9f95039e353a
|
|
token_accessor 4cd9177c-034b-a004-c62d-54bc56c0e9bd
|
|
token_duration 30m
|
|
token_renewable true
|
|
token_policies [my-policy]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The following flags are available in addition to the [standard set of
|
|
flags](/vault/docs/commands) included on all commands.
|
|
|
|
### Output Options
|
|
|
|
- `-field` `(string: "")` - Print only the field with the given name. Specifying
|
|
this option will take precedence over other formatting directives. The result
|
|
will not have a trailing newline making it ideal for piping to other processes.
|
|
|
|
- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid
|
|
formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the
|
|
`VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
### Command Options
|
|
|
|
- `-display-name` `(string: "")` - Name to associate with this token. This is a
|
|
non-sensitive value that can be used to help identify created secrets (e.g.
|
|
prefixes).
|
|
|
|
- `-entity-alias` `(string: "")` - Name of the entity alias to associate with
|
|
during token creation. Only works in combination with -role argument and used
|
|
entity alias must be listed in allowed_entity_aliases. If this has been
|
|
specified, the entity will not be inherited from the parent.
|
|
|
|
- `-explicit-max-ttl` `(duration: "")` - Explicit maximum lifetime for the
|
|
token. Unlike normal TTLs, the maximum TTL is a hard limit and cannot be
|
|
exceeded. Uses [duration format strings](/vault/docs/concepts/duration-format).
|
|
|
|
- `-id` `(string: "")` - Value for the token. By default, this is an
|
|
auto-generated value. Specifying this value requires sudo permissions.
|
|
|
|
- `-metadata` `(k=v: "")` - Arbitrary key=value metadata to associate with the
|
|
token. This metadata will show in the audit log when the token is used. This
|
|
can be specified multiple times to add multiple pieces of metadata.
|
|
|
|
- `-no-default-policy` `(bool: false)` - Detach the "default" policy from the
|
|
policy set for this token.
|
|
|
|
- `-orphan` `(bool: false)` - Create the token with no parent. This prevents the
|
|
token from being revoked when the token which created it expires. Setting this
|
|
value requires sudo permissions.
|
|
|
|
- `-period` `(duration: "")` - If specified, every renewal will use the given
|
|
period. Periodic tokens do not expire as long as they are actively being
|
|
renewed (unless `-explicit-max-ttl` is also provided). Setting this value
|
|
requires sudo permissions. Uses [duration format strings](/vault/docs/concepts/duration-format).
|
|
|
|
- `-policy` `(string: "")` - Name of a policy to associate with this token. This
|
|
can be specified multiple times to attach multiple policies.
|
|
|
|
- `-renewable` `(bool: true)` - Allow the token to be renewed up to it's maximum
|
|
TTL.
|
|
|
|
- `-role` `(string: "")` - Name of the role to create the token against.
|
|
Specifying -role may override other arguments. The locally authenticated Vault
|
|
token must have permission for `auth/token/create/<role>`.
|
|
|
|
- `-ttl` `(duration: "")` - Initial TTL to associate with the token. Token
|
|
renewals may be able to extend beyond this value, depending on the configured
|
|
maximumTTLs. Uses [duration format strings](/vault/docs/concepts/duration-format).
|
|
|
|
- `-type` `(string: "service")` - The type of token to create. Can be "service" or "batch".
|
|
|
|
- `-use-limit` `(int: 0)` - Number of times this token can be used. After the
|
|
last use, the token is automatically revoked. By default, tokens can be used
|
|
an unlimited number of times until their expiration.
