Secret Engine is Drew Houpt, Lucas Joaquin, and Alex Scharfman. A production company that develops films, episodic series, and more. We dedicate ourselves to supporting original and imaginative storytellers.
Secrets engines are components which store, generate, or encrypt data. Secrets engines are incredibly flexible, so it is easiest to think about them in terms of their function. Secrets engines are provided some set of data, they take some action on that data, and they return a result.
Test the custom secrets engine by building the plugin and use it with Vault. Learn how to build a custom secrets engine to rotate your own tokens, passwords, and more with Vault and a target API.

Most secrets engines must be configured in advance before they can perform theirfunctions. These steps are usually completed by an operator or configurationmanagement tool. 1.

After the secrets engine is configured and a user/machine has a Vault token withthe proper permissions, it can generate credentials. The usage pattern is the samewhether an existing or dynamic service principal is used. To generate a credential using the "my-role" role: This endpoint generates a renewable set of credentials. The application can log...
If the mount is configured with credentials directly, the credential's key may berotated to a Vault-generated value that is not accessible by the operator.This will ensure that only Vault is able to access the "root" user that Vault uses tomanipulate dynamic & static credentials. For more details on this operation, please see theRoot Credential Rot...
Vault roles let you configure either an existing service principal or a set of Azure roles, along withrole-specific TTL parameters. If an existing service principal is not provided, the configured Azureroles will be assigned to a newly created service principal. The Vault role may optionally specifyrole-specific ttl and/or max_ttlvalues. When the l...
The Azure secrets backend must have sufficient permissions to read Azure role information and manageservice principals. The authentication parameters can be set in the backend configuration or as environmentvariables. Environment variables will take precedence. The individual parameters are described in theconfigurationsection of the API docs. If t...
Dynamic service principals are preferred if the desired Azure resources can be providedvia the RBAC system and Azure roles defined in the Vault role. This form of credential iscompletely decoupled from any other clients, is not subject to permission changes afterissuance, and offers the best audit granularity. Access to some Azure services cannot b...

Vault will revoke access bydeleting the service principal.The Azure secret engine plugin supports debug logging which includes additional informationabout requests and responses from the Azure API.

The Azure secrets engine is written as an external Vault plugin andthus exists outside the main Vault repository. It is automatically bundled withVault releases, but the code is managed separately. Please report issues, add feature requests, and submit contributions to thevault-plugin-secrets-azure repoon GitHub.
