# `/sys/auth`
|
||
|
||
The `/sys/auth` endpoint is used to list, create, update, and delete auth
|
||
methods. Auth methods convert user or machine-supplied information into a
|
||
token which can be used for all future requests.
|
||
|
||
## List Auth Methods
|
||
|
||
This endpoint lists all enabled auth methods.
|
||
|
||

## Enable Auth Method
|
||
|
||
This endpoint enables a new auth method. After enabling, the auth method can
|
||
be accessed and configured via the auth path specified as part of the URL. This
|
||
auth path will be nested under the `auth` prefix.
|
||
|
||
For example, enable the "foo" auth method will make it accessible at
|
||
`/auth/foo`.
|
||
|
||
- **`sudo` required** – This endpoint requires `sudo` capability in addition to
|
||
any path-specific capabilities.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Path |
|
||
| :----- | :---------------- |
|
||
| `POST` | `/sys/auth/:path` |
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
- `path` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the path in which to enable the auth
|
||
method. This is part of the request URL.
|
||
|
||
!> **NOTE:** Use ASCII printable characters to specify the desired path.
|
||
|
||
- `description` `(string: "")` – Specifies a human-friendly description of the
|
||
auth method.
|
||
|
||
- `type` `(string: <required>)` – Specifies the name of the authentication
|
||
method type, such as "github" or "token".
|
||
|
||
- `config` `(map<string|string>: nil)` – Specifies configuration options for
|
||
this auth method. These are the possible values:
|
||
|
||
- `default_lease_ttl` `(string: "")` - The default lease duration, specified
|
||
as a string duration like "5s" or "30m".
|
||
|
||
- `max_lease_ttl` `(string: "")` - The maximum lease duration, specified as a
|
||
string duration like "5s" or "30m".
|
||
|
||
- `audit_non_hmac_request_keys` `(array: [])` - List of keys that will not be
|
||
HMAC'd by audit devices in the request data object.
|
||
|
||
- `audit_non_hmac_response_keys` `(array: [])` - List of keys that will not be
|
||
HMAC'd by audit devices in the response data object.
|
||
|
||
- `listing_visibility` `(string: "")` - Specifies whether to show this mount
|
||
in the UI-specific listing endpoint. Valid values are `"unauth"` or `"hidden"`,
|
||
with the default `""` being equivalent to `"hidden"`.
|
||
|
||
- `passthrough_request_headers` `(array: [])` - List of headers to allow
|
||
and pass from the request to the plugin.
|
||
|
||
- `allowed_response_headers` `(array: [])` - List of headers to allow,
|
||
allowing a plugin to include them in the response.
|
||
|
||
- `plugin_version` `(string: "")` – Specifies the semantic version of the plugin
|
||
to use, e.g. "v1.0.0". If unspecified, the server will select any matching
|
||
unversioned plugin that may have been registered, the latest versioned plugin
|
||
registered, or a built-in plugin in that order of precendence.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, the following options are allowed in Vault open-source, but
|
||
relevant functionality is only supported in Vault Enterprise:
|
||
|
||
- `local` `(bool: false)` – Specifies if the auth method is local only. Local
|
||
auth methods are not replicated nor (if a secondary) removed by replication.
|
||
Local auth mounts also generate entities for tokens issued. The entity will
|
||
be replicated across clusters and the aliases generated on the local auth
|
||
mount will be local to the cluster. If the goal of marking an auth method
|
||
as `local` was to comply with GDPR guidelines, then care must be taken to not
|
||
set the data pertaining to local auth mount or local auth mount aliases in the
|
||
metadata of the associated entity. Metadata related to local auth mount aliases
|
||
can be stored as `custom_metadata` on the alias itself which will also be
|
||
retained locally to the cluster.
|
||
|
||
~> ** Warning:** Remember, policies when using replication secondaries are
|
||
validated by the local cluster. An administrator that can set up a local auth
|
||
method mount can assign policies to tokens that are valid on the replication
|
||
primary if a request is forwarded. Never give untrusted administrators the
|
||
ability to assign policies or configure authentication methods.
|
||
|
||
- `seal_wrap` `(bool: false)` - Enable seal wrapping for the mount, causing
|
||
values stored by the mount to be wrapped by the seal's encryption capability.

||
