# `alicloudkms` Seal
The AliCloud KMS seal configures Vault to use AliCloud KMS as the seal wrapping mechanism.
The AliCloud KMS seal is activated by one of the following:
- The presence of a `seal "alicloudkms"` block in Vault's configuration file.
- The presence of the environment variable `VAULT_SEAL_TYPE` set to `alicloudkms`. If
enabling via environment variable, all other required values specific to AliCloud
KMS (i.e. `VAULT_ALICLOUDKMS_SEAL_KEY_ID`) must be also supplied, as well as all
other AliCloud-related environment variables that lends to successful
authentication.
## `alicloudkms` Example
This example shows configuring AliCloud KMS seal through the Vault configuration file
by providing all the required values:
```hcl
seal "alicloudkms" {
region = "us-east-1"
access_key = "0wNEpMMlzy7szvai"
secret_key = "PupkTg8jdmau1cXxYacgE736PJj4cA"
kms_key_id = "08c33a6f-4e0a-4a1b-a3fa-7ddfa1d4fb73"
}
```
## `alicloudkms` Parameters
These parameters apply to the `seal` stanza in the Vault configuration file:
- `region` `(string: <required> "us-east-1")`: The AliCloud region where the encryption key
lives. May also be specified by the `ALICLOUD_REGION`
environment variable.
- `domain` `(string: "kms.us-east-1.aliyuncs.com")`: If set, overrides the endpoint
AliCloud would normally use for KMS for a particular region. May also be specified
by the `ALICLOUD_DOMAIN` environment variable.
- `access_key` `(string: <required>)`: The AliCloud access key ID to use. May also be
specified by the `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY` environment variable or as part of the
AliCloud profile from the AliCloud CLI or instance profile.
- `secret_key` `(string: <required>)`: The AliCloud secret access key to use. May
also be specified by the `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY` environment variable or as
part of the AliCloud profile from the AliCloud CLI or instance profile.
- `kms_key_id` `(string: <required>)`: The AliCloud KMS key ID to use for encryption
and decryption. May also be specified by the `VAULT_ALICLOUDKMS_SEAL_KEY_ID`
environment variable.
## Authentication
Authentication-related values must be provided, either as environment
variables or as configuration parameters.
~> **Note:** Although the configuration file allows you to pass in
`ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY` and `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY` as part of the seal's parameters, it
is _strongly_ recommended to set these values via environment variables.
```text
AliCloud authentication values:
* `ALICLOUD_REGION`
* `ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY`
* `ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY`
```
Note: The client uses the official AliCloud SDK and will use environment credentials,
the specified credentials, or RAM role credentials in that order.
## `alicloudkms` Environment Variables
Alternatively, the AliCloud KMS seal can be activated by providing the following
environment variables:
```text
Vault Seal specific values:
* `VAULT_SEAL_TYPE`
* `VAULT_ALICLOUDKMS_SEAL_KEY_ID`
```
