/sys/wrapping/unwrap

The /sys/wrapping/unwrap endpoint unwraps a wrapped response.

Wrapping Unwrap

This endpoint returns the original response inside the given wrapping token. Unlike simply reading cubbyhole/response (which is deprecated), this endpoint provides additional validation checks on the token, returns the original value on the wire rather than a JSON string representation of it, and ensures that the response is properly audit-logged.

This endpoint can be used by using a wrapping token as the client token in the API call, in which case the token parameter is not required; or, a different token with permissions to access this endpoint can make the call and pass in the wrapping token in the token parameter. Do not use the wrapping token in both locations; this will cause the wrapping token to be revoked but the value to be unable to be looked up, as it will basically be a double-use of the token!

Parameters

• token (string: "") – Specifies the wrapping token ID. This is required if the client token is not the wrapping token. Do not use the wrapping token in both locations.

Sample Payload

{
  "token": "abcd1234..."
