This operation is part of the custom key stores feature in KMS, which
combines the convenience and extensive integration of KMS with the isolation and control of a
key store that you own and manage.
By default, this operation returns information about all custom key stores in the account
and Region. To get only information about a particular custom key store, use either the
CustomKeyStoreName or CustomKeyStoreId parameter (but not
both).
To determine whether the custom key store is connected to its CloudHSM cluster or external
key store proxy, use the ConnectionState element in the response. If an attempt
to connect the custom key store failed, the ConnectionState value is
FAILED and the ConnectionErrorCode element in the response
indicates the cause of the failure. For help interpreting the
ConnectionErrorCode, see CustomKeyStoresListEntry.
Custom key stores have a DISCONNECTED connection state if the key store has
never been connected or you used the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation to
disconnect it. Otherwise, the connection state is CONNECTED. If your custom key store
connection state is CONNECTED but you are having trouble using it, verify that
the backing store is active and available. For an CloudHSM key store, verify that the associated
CloudHSM cluster is active and contains the minimum number of HSMs required for the operation, if
any. For an external key store, verify that the external key store proxy and its associated
external key manager are reachable and enabled.
