»Azure Secrets Engine (API)

This is the API documentation for the Vault Azure secrets engine. For general information about the usage and operation of the Azure secrets engine, please see the main Azure secrets documentation.

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

»Configure Access

Configures the credentials required for the plugin to perform API calls to Azure. These credentials will be used to query roles and create/delete service principals. Environment variables will override any parameters set in the config.

• subscription_id (string: <required>) - The subscription id for the Azure Active Directory. This value can also be provided with the AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID environment variable.
• tenant_id (string: <required>) - The tenant id for the Azure Active Directory. This value can also be provided with the AZURE_TENANT_ID environment variable.
• client_id (string:"") - The OAuth2 client id to connect to Azure. This value can also be provided with the AZURE_CLIENT_ID environment variable. See authentication for more details.
• client_secret (string:"") - The OAuth2 client secret to connect to Azure. This value can also be provided with the AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variable. See authentication for more details.
• environment (string:"") - The Azure environment. This value can also be provided with the AZURE_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. If not specified, Vault will use Azure Public Cloud.
• password_policy (string: "") - Specifies a password policy to use when creating dynamic credentials. Defaults to generating an alphanumeric password if not set.
