AliCloud auth method (API)

This is the API documentation for the Vault AliCloud auth method. For general information about the usage and operation of the AliCloud method, please see the Vault AliCloud auth method documentation.

This documentation assumes the AliCloud auth method is mounted at the /auth/alicloud path in Vault. Since it is possible to enable auth methods at any location, please update your API calls accordingly.

Create/Update role

Registers a role. Only entities using the role registered using this endpoint will be able to perform the login operation.

Parameters

• role (string: <required>) - Name of the role. Must correspond with the name of the role reflected in the arn.
• arn (string: <required>) - The role's arn.

• token_ttl (integer: 0 or string: "") - The incremental lifetime for generated tokens. This current value of this will be referenced at renewal time.
• token_max_ttl (integer: 0 or string: "") - The maximum lifetime for generated tokens. This current value of this will be referenced at renewal time.
• token_policies (array: [] or comma-delimited string: "") - List of token policies to encode onto generated tokens. Depending on the auth method, this list may be supplemented by user/group/other values.
• policies (array: [] or comma-delimited string: "") - DEPRECATED: Please use the token_policies parameter instead. List of token policies to encode onto generated tokens. Depending on the auth method, this list may be supplemented by user/group/other values.

• token_bound_cidrs (array: [] or comma-delimited string: "") - List of CIDR blocks; if set, specifies blocks of IP addresses which can authenticate successfully, and ties the resulting token to these blocks as well.
• token_explicit_max_ttl (integer: 0 or string: "") - If set, will encode an explicit max TTL onto the token. This is a hard cap even if token_ttl and token_max_ttl would otherwise allow a renewal.
• token_no_default_policy (bool: false) - If set, the default policy will not be set on generated tokens; otherwise it will be added to the policies set in token_policies.
• token_num_uses (integer: 0) - The maximum number of times a generated token may be used (within its lifetime); 0 means unlimited. If you require the token to have the ability to create child tokens, you will need to set this value to 0.
• token_period (integer: 0 or string: "") - The maximum allowed period value when a periodic token is requested from this role.
• token_type (string: "") - The type of token that should be generated. Can be service, batch, or default to use the mount's tuned default (which unless changed will be service tokens). For token store roles, there are two additional possibilities: default-service and default-batch which specify the type to return unless the client requests a different type at generation time. For machine based authentication cases, you should use batch type tokens.

  "policies": ["dev", "prod"]
}

Sample request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    --data @payload.json \

Read role

Returns the previously registered role configuration.

Parameters

• role (string: <required>) - Name of the role.

Sample request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/auth/alicloud/role/dev-role

Sample response

{
  "data": {
    "arn": "acs:ram::5138828231865461:role/dev-role",
    "policies": ["default", "dev", "prod"],
    "ttl": 1800000,
    "max_ttl": 1800000,
    "period": 0
  }
}

List roles

Lists all the roles that are registered with the method.

Sample request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request LIST \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/auth/alicloud/roles

Sample response

{
  "data": {
    "keys": ["dev-role", "prod-role"]
  }
}

Delete role

Deletes the previously registered role.

Parameters

• role (string: <required>) - Name of the role.

Sample request

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request DELETE \
    http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/auth/alicloud/role/dev-role

Login

Fetch a token. This endpoint verifies the signature of the signed GetCallerIdentity request.

Parameters

• role (string: <required>) - Name of the role.
• identity_request_url (string: <required>) - Base64-encoded HTTP URL used in the signed request.
• identity_request_headers (string: <required>) - Base64-encoded, JSON-serialized representation of the sts:GetCallerIdentity HTTP request headers. The JSON serialization assumes that each header key maps to either a string value or an array of string values (though the length of that array will probably only be one).

  "role": "dev-role",
  "identity_request_url": "aWRlbnRpdHlabrVxdWVzdF91cmw=",
