AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\SecretsManager\SecretsManagerClient

Service ID: secretsmanager

Version: 2017-10-17

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Secrets Manager (2017-10-17), and shows how to use the Aws\SecretsManager\SecretsManagerClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2017-10-17 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Paginators

Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:

ListSecretVersionIds
ListSecrets

Operations

CancelRotateSecret

$result = $client->cancelRotateSecret([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->cancelRotateSecretAsync([/* ... */]);

Disables automatic scheduled rotation and cancels the rotation of a secret if currently in progress.

To re-enable scheduled rotation, call RotateSecret with AutomaticallyRotateAfterDays set to a value greater than 0. This immediately rotates your secret and then enables the automatic schedule.

If you cancel a rotation while in progress, it can leave the VersionStage labels in an unexpected state. Depending on the step of the rotation in progress, you might need to remove the staging label AWSPENDING from the partially created version, specified by the VersionId response value. You should also evaluate the partially rotated new version to see if it should be deleted, which you can do by removing all staging labels from the new version VersionStage field.

To successfully start a rotation, the staging label AWSPENDING must be in one of the following states:

Not attached to any version at all
Attached to the same version as the staging label AWSCURRENT

If the staging label AWSPENDING attached to a different version than the version with AWSCURRENT then the attempt to rotate fails.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:CancelRotateSecret

Related operations

To configure rotation for a secret or to manually trigger a rotation, use RotateSecret.
To get the rotation configuration details for a secret, use DescribeSecret.
To list all of the currently available secrets, use ListSecrets.
To list all of the versions currently associated with a secret, use ListSecretVersionIds.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->cancelRotateSecret([
    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret to cancel a rotation request. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Result Syntax

[
    'ARN' => '<string>',
    'Name' => '<string>',
    'VersionId' => '<string>',
]

Result Details

Members

ARN

Type: string

The ARN of the secret for which rotation was canceled.

Name

Type: string

The friendly name of the secret for which rotation was canceled.

VersionId

Type: string

The unique identifier of the version of the secret created during the rotation. This version might not be complete, and should be evaluated for possible deletion. At the very least, you should remove the VersionStage value AWSPENDING to enable this version to be deleted. Failing to clean up a cancelled rotation can block you from successfully starting future rotations.

Errors

ResourceNotFoundException:
We can't find the resource that you asked for.
InvalidParameterException:
You provided an invalid value for a parameter.
InternalServiceError:
An error occurred on the server side.
InvalidRequestException:
You provided a parameter value that is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:
- You tried to perform the operation on a secret that's currently marked deleted.
- You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call.

Examples

Example 1: To cancel scheduled rotation for a secret

The following example shows how to cancel rotation for a secret. The operation sets the RotationEnabled field to false and cancels all scheduled rotations. To resume scheduled rotations, you must re-enable rotation by calling the rotate-secret operation.

$result = $client->cancelRotateSecret([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ARN' => 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name' => 'Name',
]

CreateSecret

$result = $client->createSecret([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createSecretAsync([/* ... */]);

Creates a new secret. A secret in Secrets Manager consists of both the protected secret data and the important information needed to manage the secret.

Secrets Manager stores the encrypted secret data in one of a collection of "versions" associated with the secret. Each version contains a copy of the encrypted secret data. Each version is associated with one or more "staging labels" that identify where the version is in the rotation cycle. The SecretVersionsToStages field of the secret contains the mapping of staging labels to the active versions of the secret. Versions without a staging label are considered deprecated and not included in the list.

You provide the secret data to be encrypted by putting text in either the SecretString parameter or binary data in the SecretBinary parameter, but not both. If you include SecretString or SecretBinary then Secrets Manager also creates an initial secret version and automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to the new version.

If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the SecretString or SecretBinary for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a Amazon Web Services KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default Amazon Web Services managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias aws/secretsmanager. If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in Amazon Web Services creating the account's Amazon Web Services-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
If the secret resides in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom Amazon Web Services KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different Amazon Web Services account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the KMSKeyId. If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt SecretString or SecretBinary using credentials from a different account then the Amazon Web Services KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:CreateSecret
kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a customer-managed Amazon Web Services KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default Amazon Web Services managed CMK for Secrets Manager.
kms:Decrypt - needed only if you use a customer-managed Amazon Web Services KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account default Amazon Web Services managed CMK for Secrets Manager.
secretsmanager:TagResource - needed only if you include the Tags parameter.

Related operations

To delete a secret, use DeleteSecret.
To modify an existing secret, use UpdateSecret.
To create a new version of a secret, use PutSecretValue.
To retrieve the encrypted secure string and secure binary values, use GetSecretValue.
To retrieve all other details for a secret, use DescribeSecret. This does not include the encrypted secure string and secure binary values.
To retrieve the list of secret versions associated with the current secret, use DescribeSecret and examine the SecretVersionsToStages response value.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createSecret([
    'AddReplicaRegions' => [
        [
            'KmsKeyId' => '<string>',
            'Region' => '<string>',
        ],
        // ...
    ],

        ],
        // ...
    ],
]);

Parameter Details

Members

AddReplicaRegions

Type: Array of ReplicaRegionType structures

(Optional) Add a list of regions to replicate secrets. Secrets Manager replicates the KMSKeyID objects to the list of regions specified in the parameter.

ClientRequestToken

Type: string

(Optional) If you include SecretString or SecretBinary, then an initial version is created as part of the secret, and this parameter specifies a unique identifier for the new version.

If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDK to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes it as the value for this parameter in the request. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for the new version and include the value in the request.

This value helps ensure idempotency. Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during a rotation. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness of your versions within the specified secret.

If the ClientRequestToken value isn't already associated with a version of the secret then a new version of the secret is created.
If a version with this value already exists and the version SecretString and SecretBinary values are the same as those in the request, then the request is ignored.
If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString and SecretBinary values are different from those in the request, then the request fails because you cannot modify an existing version. Instead, use PutSecretValue to create a new version.

This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

Description

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies a user-provided description of the secret.

ForceOverwriteReplicaSecret

Type: boolean

(Optional) If set, the replication overwrites a secret with the same name in the destination region.

KmsKeyId

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies the ARN, Key ID, or alias of the Amazon Web Services KMS customer master key (CMK) to be used to encrypt the SecretString or SecretBinary values in the versions stored in this secret.

You can specify any of the supported ways to identify a Amazon Web Services KMS key ID. If you need to reference a CMK in a different account, you can use only the key ARN or the alias ARN.

If you don't specify this value, then Secrets Manager defaults to using the Amazon Web Services account's default CMK (the one named aws/secretsmanager). If a Amazon Web Services KMS CMK with that name doesn't yet exist, then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically the first time it needs to encrypt a version's SecretString or SecretBinary fields.

You can use the account default CMK to encrypt and decrypt only if you call this operation using credentials from the same account that owns the secret. If the secret resides in a different account, then you must create a custom CMK and specify the ARN in this field.

Name

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the friendly name of the new secret.

The secret name must be ASCII letters, digits, or the following characters : /_+=.@-

Do not end your secret name with a hyphen followed by six characters. If you do so, you risk confusion and unexpected results when searching for a secret by partial ARN. Secrets Manager automatically adds a hyphen and six random characters at the end of the ARN.

SecretBinary

Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

(Optional) Specifies binary data that you want to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. To use this parameter in the command-line tools, we recommend that you store your binary data in a file and then use the appropriate technique for your tool to pass the contents of the file as a parameter.

Either SecretString or SecretBinary must have a value, but not both. They cannot both be empty.

This parameter is not available using the Secrets Manager console. It can be accessed only by using the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs.

SecretString

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies text data that you want to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret.

Either SecretString or SecretBinary must have a value, but not both. They cannot both be empty.

If you create a secret by using the Secrets Manager console then Secrets Manager puts the protected secret text in only the SecretString parameter. The Secrets Manager console stores the information as a JSON structure of key/value pairs that the Lambda rotation function knows how to parse.

For storing multiple values, we recommend that you use a JSON text string argument and specify key/value pairs. For more information, see Specifying parameter values for the Amazon Web Services CLI in the Amazon Web Services CLI User Guide.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

(Optional) Specifies a list of user-defined tags that are attached to the secret. Each tag is a "Key" and "Value" pair of strings. This operation only appends tags to the existing list of tags. To remove tags, you must use UntagResource.

Secrets Manager tag key names are case sensitive. A tag with the key "ABC" is a different tag from one with key "abc".
If you check tags in IAM policy Condition elements as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If the successful completion of this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then this operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

This parameter requires a JSON text string argument. For information on how to format a JSON parameter for the various command line tool environments, see Using JSON for Parameters in the CLI User Guide. For example:

[{"Key":"CostCenter","Value":"12345"},{"Key":"environment","Value":"production"}]

If your command-line tool or SDK requires quotation marks around the parameter, you should use single quotes to avoid confusion with the double quotes required in the JSON text.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per secret—50
Maximum key length—127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Maximum value length—255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
Do not use the aws: prefix in your tag names or values because Amazon Web Services reserves it for Amazon Web Services use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, remember other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.

Result Details

Members

ARN

Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the secret that you just created.

Secrets Manager automatically adds several random characters to the name at the end of the ARN when you initially create a secret. This affects only the ARN and not the actual friendly name. This ensures that if you create a new secret with the same name as an old secret that you previously deleted, then users with access to the old secret don't automatically get access to the new secret because the ARNs are different.

Name

Type: string

The friendly name of the secret that you just created.

ReplicationStatus

Type: Array of ReplicationStatusType structures

Describes a list of replication status objects as InProgress, Failed or InSync.

VersionId

Type: string

The unique identifier associated with the version of the secret you just created.

Errors

InvalidParameterException:
You provided an invalid value for a parameter.

Examples

Example 1: To create a basic secret

The following example shows how to create a secret. The credentials stored in the encrypted secret value are retrieved from a file on disk named mycreds.json.

$result = $client->createSecret([
    'ClientRequestToken' => 'EXAMPLE1-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987SECRET1',
    'Description' => 'My test database secret created with the CLI',
    'Name' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'SecretString' => '{"username":"david","password":"BnQw!XDWgaEeT9XGTT29"}',
]);

    'VersionId' => 'EXAMPLE1-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987SECRET1',
]

DeleteResourcePolicy

$result = $client->deleteResourcePolicy([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteResourcePolicyAsync([/* ... */]);

Deletes the resource-based permission policy attached to the secret.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:DeleteResourcePolicy

Related operations

To attach a resource policy to a secret, use PutResourcePolicy.
To retrieve the current resource-based policy attached to a secret, use GetResourcePolicy.
To list all of the currently available secrets, use ListSecrets.

Parameter Syntax

    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret that you want to delete the attached resource-based policy for. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

Examples

Example 1: To delete the resource-based policy attached to a secret

The following example shows how to delete the resource-based policy that is attached to a secret.

$result = $client->deleteResourcePolicy([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ARN' => 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseMasterSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]

DeleteSecret

$result = $client->deleteSecret([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteSecretAsync([/* ... */]);

Deletes an entire secret and all of the versions. You can optionally include a recovery window during which you can restore the secret. If you don't specify a recovery window value, the operation defaults to 30 days. Secrets Manager attaches a DeletionDate stamp to the secret that specifies the end of the recovery window. At the end of the recovery window, Secrets Manager deletes the secret permanently.

At any time before recovery window ends, you can use RestoreSecret to remove the DeletionDate and cancel the deletion of the secret.

You cannot access the encrypted secret information in any secret scheduled for deletion. If you need to access that information, you must cancel the deletion with RestoreSecret and then retrieve the information.

There is no explicit operation to delete a version of a secret. Instead, remove all staging labels from the VersionStage field of a version. That marks the version as deprecated and allows Secrets Manager to delete it as needed. Versions without any staging labels do not show up in ListSecretVersionIds unless you specify IncludeDeprecated.
The permanent secret deletion at the end of the waiting period is performed as a background task with low priority. There is no guarantee of a specific time after the recovery window for the actual delete operation to occur.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:DeleteSecret

Related operations

To create a secret, use CreateSecret.
To cancel deletion of a version of a secret before the recovery window has expired, use RestoreSecret.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->deleteSecret([
    'ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery' => true || false,
    'RecoveryWindowInDays' => <integer>,
    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery

Type: boolean

(Optional) Specifies that the secret is to be deleted without any recovery window. You can't use both this parameter and the RecoveryWindowInDays parameter in the same API call.

An asynchronous background process performs the actual deletion, so there can be a short delay before the operation completes. If you write code to delete and then immediately recreate a secret with the same name, ensure that your code includes appropriate back off and retry logic.

Use this parameter with caution. This parameter causes the operation to skip the normal waiting period before the permanent deletion that Amazon Web Services would normally impose with the RecoveryWindowInDays parameter. If you delete a secret with the ForceDeleteWithouRecovery parameter, then you have no opportunity to recover the secret. You lose the secret permanently.

If you use this parameter and include a previously deleted or nonexistent secret, the operation does not return the error ResourceNotFoundException in order to correctly handle retries.

RecoveryWindowInDays

Type: long (int|float)

(Optional) Specifies the number of days that Secrets Manager waits before Secrets Manager can delete the secret. You can't use both this parameter and the ForceDeleteWithoutRecovery parameter in the same API call.

This value can range from 7 to 30 days with a default value of 30.

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret to delete. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Result Syntax

[
    'ARN' => '<string>',
    'DeletionDate' => <DateTime>,
    'Name' => '<string>',

Result Details

Members

ARN

Type: string

The ARN of the secret that is now scheduled for deletion.

DeletionDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date and time after which this secret can be deleted by Secrets Manager and can no longer be restored. This value is the date and time of the delete request plus the number of days specified in RecoveryWindowInDays.

Name

Type: string

The friendly name of the secret currently scheduled for deletion.

Errors

ResourceNotFoundException:
We can't find the resource that you asked for.
InvalidParameterException:
You provided an invalid value for a parameter.
InvalidRequestException:

- You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call.
InternalServiceError:
An error occurred on the server side.

Examples

Example 1: To delete a secret

The following example shows how to delete a secret. The secret stays in your account in a deprecated and inaccessible state until the recovery window ends. After the date and time in the DeletionDate response field has passed, you can no longer recover this secret with restore-secret.

$result = $client->deleteSecret([
    'RecoveryWindowInDays' => 7,
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret1',

ARN

Type: string

The ARN of the secret.

CreatedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date you created the secret.

DeletedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

This value exists if the secret is scheduled for deletion. Some time after the specified date and time, Secrets Manager deletes the secret and all of its versions.

If a secret is scheduled for deletion, then its details, including the encrypted secret information, is not accessible. To cancel a scheduled deletion and restore access, use RestoreSecret.

Description

Type: string

The user-provided description of the secret.

KmsKeyId

Type: string

The ARN or alias of the Amazon Web Services KMS customer master key (CMK) that's used to encrypt the SecretString or SecretBinary fields in each version of the secret. If you don't provide a key, then Secrets Manager defaults to encrypting the secret fields with the default Amazon Web Services KMS CMK (the one named awssecretsmanager) for this account.

LastAccessedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The last date that this secret was accessed. This value is truncated to midnight of the date and therefore shows only the date, not the time.

LastChangedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The last date and time that this secret was modified in any way.

LastRotatedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The last date and time that the rotation process for this secret was invoked.

The most recent date and time that the Secrets Manager rotation process successfully completed. If the secret doesn't rotate, Secrets Manager returns a null value.

Name

Type: string

The user-provided friendly name of the secret.

OwningService

Type: string

Returns the name of the service that created this secret.

PrimaryRegion

Type: string

Specifies the primary region for secret replication.

ReplicationStatus

Type: Array of ReplicationStatusType structures

Describes a list of replication status objects as InProgress, Failed or InSync.P

RotationEnabled

Type: boolean

Specifies whether automatic rotation is enabled for this secret.

To enable rotation, use RotateSecret with AutomaticallyRotateAfterDays set to a value greater than 0. To disable rotation, use CancelRotateSecret.

RotationLambdaARN

Type: string

The ARN of a Lambda function that's invoked by Secrets Manager to rotate the secret either automatically per the schedule or manually by a call to RotateSecret.

RotationRules

Type: RotationRulesType structure

A structure with the rotation configuration for this secret. This field is only populated if rotation is configured.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

The list of user-defined tags that are associated with the secret. To add tags to a secret, use TagResource. To remove tags, use UntagResource.

VersionIdsToStages

Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (SecretVersionIdType) to stringss

A list of all of the currently assigned VersionStage staging labels and the VersionId that each is attached to. Staging labels are used to keep track of the different versions during the rotation process.

A version that does not have any staging labels attached is considered deprecated and subject to deletion. Such versions are not included in this list.

Parameter Details

Members

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret containing the version that you want to retrieve. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

VersionId

Type: string

Specifies the unique identifier of the version of the secret that you want to retrieve. If you specify both this parameter and VersionStage, the two parameters must refer to the same secret version. If you don't specify either a VersionStage or VersionId then the default is to perform the operation on the version with the VersionStage value of AWSCURRENT.

This value is typically a UUID-type value with 32 hexadecimal digits.

VersionStage

Type: string

Specifies the secret version that you want to retrieve by the staging label attached to the version.

Staging labels are used to keep track of different versions during the rotation process. If you specify both this parameter and VersionId, the two parameters must refer to the same secret version . If you don't specify either a VersionStage or VersionId, then the default is to perform the operation on the version with the VersionStage value of AWSCURRENT.

Result Details

Members

ARN

Type: string

The ARN of the secret.

CreatedDate

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

The date and time that this version of the secret was created.

Name

Type: string

The friendly name of the secret.

SecretBinary

Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

The decrypted part of the protected secret information that was originally provided as binary data in the form of a byte array. The response parameter represents the binary data as a base64-encoded string.

This parameter is not used if the secret is created by the Secrets Manager console.

If you store custom information in this field of the secret, then you must code your Lambda rotation function to parse and interpret whatever you store in the SecretString or SecretBinary fields.

SecretString

Type: string

The decrypted part of the protected secret information that was originally provided as a string.

If you create this secret by using the Secrets Manager console then only the SecretString parameter contains data. Secrets Manager stores the information as a JSON structure of key/value pairs that the Lambda rotation function knows how to parse.

If you store custom information in the secret by using the CreateSecret, UpdateSecret, or PutSecretValue API operations instead of the Secrets Manager console, or by using the Other secret type in the console, then you must code your Lambda rotation function to parse and interpret those values.

VersionId

Type: string

The unique identifier of this version of the secret.

VersionStages

Type: Array of strings

A list of all of the staging labels currently attached to this version of the secret.

Errors

ResourceNotFoundException:
We can't find the resource that you asked for.
InvalidParameterException:
You provided an invalid value for a parameter.
InvalidRequestException:
You provided a parameter value that is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:

DecryptionFailure:
Secrets Manager can't decrypt the protected secret text using the provided KMS key.
InternalServiceError:
An error occurred on the server side.

Examples

Example 1: To retrieve the encrypted secret value of a secret

The following example shows how to retrieve the secret string value from the version of the secret that has the AWSPREVIOUS staging label attached. If you want to retrieve the AWSCURRENT version of the secret, then you can omit the VersionStage parameter because it defaults to AWSCURRENT.

$result = $client->getSecretValue([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'VersionStage' => 'AWSPREVIOUS',
]);

Result syntax:

ListSecretVersionIds

$result = $client->listSecretVersionIds([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->listSecretVersionIdsAsync([/* ... */]);

Lists all of the versions attached to the specified secret. The output does not include the SecretString or SecretBinary fields. By default, the list includes only versions that have at least one staging label in VersionStage attached.

Always check the NextToken response parameter when calling any of the List* operations. These operations can occasionally return an empty or shorter than expected list of results even when there more results become available. When this happens, the NextToken response parameter contains a value to pass to the next call to the same API to request the next part of the list.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:ListSecretVersionIds

Parameter Details

Members

IncludeDeprecated

Type: boolean

(Optional) Specifies that you want the results to include versions that do not have any staging labels attached to them. Such versions are considered deprecated and are subject to deletion by Secrets Manager as needed.

MaxResults

Type: int

(Optional) Limits the number of results you want to include in the response. If you don't include this parameter, it defaults to a value that's specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (isn't null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Secrets Manager might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

NextToken

Type: string

(Optional) Use this parameter in a request if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request indicating there's more output available. In a subsequent call, set it to the value of the previous call NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

The identifier for the secret containing the versions you want to list. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

Name

Type: string

The friendly name of the secret.

NextToken

Type: string

If present in the response, this value indicates that there's more output available than included in the current response. This can occur even when the response includes no values at all, such as when you ask for a filtered view of a very long list. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to continue processing and get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back empty (as null).

Versions

Type: Array of SecretVersionsListEntry structures

The list of the currently available versions of the specified secret.

Alternatively, you can use IAM identity-based policies that specify the secret's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the policy statement's Resources element. You can also use a combination of both identity-based and resource-based policies. The affected users and roles receive the permissions that are permitted by all of the relevant policies. For more information, see Using Resource-Based Policies for Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager. For the complete description of the Amazon Web Services policy syntax and grammar, see IAM JSON Policy Reference in the IAM User Guide.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:PutResourcePolicy

Examples

Example 1: To add a resource-based policy to a secret

The following example shows how to add a resource-based policy to a secret.

$result = $client->putResourcePolicy([
    'ResourcePolicy' => '{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Principal":{"AWS":"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root"},"Action":"secretsmanager:GetSecretValue","Resource":"*"}]}',
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ARN' => 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',
    'Name' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]

PutSecretValue

$result = $client->putSecretValue([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->putSecretValueAsync([/* ... */]);

Stores a new encrypted secret value in the specified secret. To do this, the operation creates a new version and attaches it to the secret. The version can contain a new SecretString value or a new SecretBinary value. You can also specify the staging labels that are initially attached to the new version.

We recommend you avoid calling PutSecretValue at a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you call PutSecretValue more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.

If this operation creates the first version for the secret then Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to the new version.
If you do not specify a value for VersionStages then Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label AWSCURRENT to this new version.
If this operation moves the staging label AWSCURRENT from another version to this version, then Secrets Manager also automatically moves the staging label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT was removed from.
This operation is idempotent. If a version with a VersionId with the same value as the ClientRequestToken parameter already exists and you specify the same secret data, the operation succeeds but does nothing. However, if the secret data is different, then the operation fails because you cannot modify an existing version; you can only create new ones.

If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the SecretString or SecretBinary for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a Amazon Web Services KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default Amazon Web Services managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias aws/secretsmanager. If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in Amazon Web Services creating the account's Amazon Web Services-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
If the secret resides in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom Amazon Web Services KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different Amazon Web Services account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the KMSKeyId. If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt SecretString or SecretBinary using credentials from a different account then the Amazon Web Services KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:PutSecretValue
kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a customer-managed Amazon Web Services KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's default Amazon Web Services managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->putSecretValue([
    'ClientRequestToken' => '<string>',
    'SecretBinary' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>,
    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'SecretString' => '<string>',
    'VersionStages' => ['<string>', ...],
]);

Parameter Details

Members

ClientRequestToken

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies a unique identifier for the new version of the secret.

If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDK to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes that in the request. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for new versions and include that value in the request.

This value helps ensure idempotency. Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during the Lambda rotation function's processing. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret.

If the ClientRequestToken value isn't already associated with a version of the secret then a new version of the secret is created.
If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString or SecretBinary values are the same as those in the request then the request is ignored (the operation is idempotent).
If a version with this value already exists and the version of the SecretString and SecretBinary values are different from those in the request then the request fails because you cannot modify an existing secret version. You can only create new versions to store new secret values.

This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

SecretBinary

Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

This parameter is not accessible if the secret using the Secrets Manager console.

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret to which you want to add a new version. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret. The secret must already exist.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

SecretString

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies text data that you want to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret. Either SecretString or SecretBinary must have a value, but not both. They cannot both be empty.

If you create this secret by using the Secrets Manager console then Secrets Manager puts the protected secret text in only the SecretString parameter. The Secrets Manager console stores the information as a JSON structure of key/value pairs that the default Lambda rotation function knows how to parse.

VersionStages

Type: Array of strings

(Optional) Specifies a list of staging labels that are attached to this version of the secret. These staging labels are used to track the versions through the rotation process by the Lambda rotation function.

A staging label must be unique to a single version of the secret. If you specify a staging label that's already associated with a different version of the same secret then that staging label is automatically removed from the other version and attached to this version.

If you do not specify a value for VersionStages then Secrets Manager automatically moves the staging label AWSCURRENT to this new version.

Example 1: To restore a previously deleted secret

The following example shows how to restore a secret that you previously scheduled for deletion.

$result = $client->restoreSecret([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]);

Result syntax:

[
    'ARN' => 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:MyTestDatabaseSecret-a1b2c3',

]

RotateSecret

$result = $client->rotateSecret([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->rotateSecretAsync([/* ... */]);

Configures and starts the asynchronous process of rotating this secret. If you include the configuration parameters, the operation sets those values for the secret and then immediately starts a rotation. If you do not include the configuration parameters, the operation starts a rotation with the values already stored in the secret. After the rotation completes, the protected service and its clients all use the new version of the secret.

This required configuration information includes the ARN of an Amazon Web Services Lambda function and optionally, the time between scheduled rotations. The Lambda rotation function creates a new version of the secret and creates or updates the credentials on the protected service to match. After testing the new credentials, the function marks the new secret with the staging label AWSCURRENT so that your clients all immediately begin to use the new version. For more information about rotating secrets and how to configure a Lambda function to rotate the secrets for your protected service, see Rotating Secrets in Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide.

Secrets Manager schedules the next rotation when the previous one completes. Secrets Manager schedules the date by adding the rotation interval (number of days) to the actual date of the last rotation. The service chooses the hour within that 24-hour date window randomly. The minute is also chosen somewhat randomly, but weighted towards the top of the hour and influenced by a variety of factors that help distribute load.

The rotation function must end with the versions of the secret in one of two states:

The AWSPENDING and AWSCURRENT staging labels are attached to the same version of the secret, or
The AWSPENDING staging label is not attached to any version of the secret.

If the AWSPENDING staging label is present but not attached to the same version as AWSCURRENT then any later invocation of RotateSecret assumes that a previous rotation request is still in progress and returns an error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:RotateSecret
lambda:InvokeFunction (on the function specified in the secret's metadata)

Parameter Details

Members

ClientRequestToken

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies a unique identifier for the new version of the secret that helps ensure idempotency.

If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDK to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes that in the request for this parameter. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for new versions and include that value in the request.

You only need to specify your own value if you implement your own retry logic and want to ensure that a given secret is not created twice. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret.

Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during the function's processing. This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

RotationLambdaARN

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies the ARN of the Lambda function that can rotate the secret.

RotationRules

Type: RotationRulesType structure

A structure that defines the rotation configuration for this secret.

SecretId

TagResource

$result = $client->tagResource([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->tagResourceAsync([/* ... */]);

Attaches one or more tags, each consisting of a key name and a value, to the specified secret. Tags are part of the secret's overall metadata, and are not associated with any specific version of the secret. This operation only appends tags to the existing list of tags. To remove tags, you must use UntagResource.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per secret—50
Maximum key length—127 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Maximum value length—255 Unicode characters in UTF-8
Tag keys and values are case sensitive.
Do not use the aws: prefix in your tag names or values because Amazon Web Services reserves it for Amazon Web Services use. You can't edit or delete tag names or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per secret limit.
If you use your tagging schema across multiple services and resources, remember other services might have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters: letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8, plus the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @.

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then adding or removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:TagResource

UntagResource

$result = $client->untagResource([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->untagResourceAsync([/* ... */]);

Removes one or more tags from the specified secret.

This operation is idempotent. If a requested tag is not attached to the secret, no error is returned and the secret metadata is unchanged.

If you use tags as part of your security strategy, then removing a tag can change permissions. If successfully completing this operation would result in you losing your permissions for this secret, then the operation is blocked and returns an Access Denied error.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:UntagResource

Related operations

To add one or more tags to the collection attached to a secret, use TagResource.
To view the list of tags attached to a secret, use DescribeSecret.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->untagResource([
    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'TagKeys' => ['<string>', ...], // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

The identifier for the secret that you want to remove tags from. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

TagKeys

Required: Yes
Type: Array of strings

A list of tag key names to remove from the secret. You don't specify the value. Both the key and its associated value are removed.

This parameter to the API requires a JSON text string argument.

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

ResourceNotFoundException:
We can't find the resource that you asked for.
InvalidRequestException:
You provided a parameter value that is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:
- You tried to perform the operation on a secret that's currently marked deleted.
- You tried to enable rotation on a secret that doesn't already have a Lambda function ARN configured and you didn't include such an ARN as a parameter in this call.
InvalidParameterException:
You provided an invalid value for a parameter.
InternalServiceError:
An error occurred on the server side.

Examples

Example 1: To remove tags from a secret

The following example shows how to remove two tags from a secret's metadata. For each, both the tag and the associated value are removed. There is no output from this API. To see the result, use the DescribeSecret operation.

$result = $client->untagResource([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'TagKeys' => [
        'FirstTag',
        'SecondTag',
    ],
]);

UpdateSecret

$result = $client->updateSecret([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateSecretAsync([/* ... */]);

Modifies many of the details of the specified secret.

To change the secret value, you can also use PutSecretValue.

To change the rotation configuration of a secret, use RotateSecret instead.

We recommend you avoid calling UpdateSecret at a sustained rate of more than once every 10 minutes. When you call UpdateSecret to update the secret value, Secrets Manager creates a new version of the secret. Secrets Manager removes outdated versions when there are more than 100, but it does not remove versions created less than 24 hours ago. If you update the secret value more than once every 10 minutes, you create more versions than Secrets Manager removes, and you will reach the quota for secret versions.

The Secrets Manager console uses only the SecretString parameter and therefore limits you to encrypting and storing only a text string. To encrypt and store binary data as part of the version of a secret, you must use either the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs.

If a version with a VersionId with the same value as the ClientRequestToken parameter already exists, the operation results in an error. You cannot modify an existing version, you can only create a new version.
If you include SecretString or SecretBinary to create a new secret version, Secrets Manager automatically attaches the staging label AWSCURRENT to the new version.

If you call an operation to encrypt or decrypt the SecretString or SecretBinary for a secret in the same account as the calling user and that secret doesn't specify a Amazon Web Services KMS encryption key, Secrets Manager uses the account's default Amazon Web Services managed customer master key (CMK) with the alias aws/secretsmanager. If this key doesn't already exist in your account then Secrets Manager creates it for you automatically. All users and roles in the same Amazon Web Services account automatically have access to use the default CMK. Note that if an Secrets Manager API call results in Amazon Web Services creating the account's Amazon Web Services-managed CMK, it can result in a one-time significant delay in returning the result.
If the secret resides in a different Amazon Web Services account from the credentials calling an API that requires encryption or decryption of the secret value then you must create and use a custom Amazon Web Services KMS CMK because you can't access the default CMK for the account using credentials from a different Amazon Web Services account. Store the ARN of the CMK in the secret when you create the secret or when you update it by including it in the KMSKeyId. If you call an API that must encrypt or decrypt SecretString or SecretBinary using credentials from a different account then the Amazon Web Services KMS key policy must grant cross-account access to that other account's user or role for both the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt operations.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:UpdateSecret
kms:GenerateDataKey - needed only if you use a custom Amazon Web Services KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's Amazon Web Services managed CMK for Secrets Manager.
kms:Decrypt - needed only if you use a custom Amazon Web Services KMS key to encrypt the secret. You do not need this permission to use the account's Amazon Web Services managed CMK for Secrets Manager.

Related operations

To create a new secret, use CreateSecret.
To add only a new version to an existing secret, use PutSecretValue.
To get the details for a secret, use DescribeSecret.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->updateSecret([
    'ClientRequestToken' => '<string>',
    'Description' => '<string>',
    'KmsKeyId' => '<string>',
    'SecretBinary' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>,
    'SecretId' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'SecretString' => '<string>',
]);

Parameter Details

Members

ClientRequestToken

Type: string

(Optional) If you want to add a new version to the secret, this parameter specifies a unique identifier for the new version that helps ensure idempotency.

If you use the Amazon Web Services CLI or one of the Amazon Web Services SDK to call this operation, then you can leave this parameter empty. The CLI or SDK generates a random UUID for you and includes that in the request. If you don't use the SDK and instead generate a raw HTTP request to the Secrets Manager service endpoint, then you must generate a ClientRequestToken yourself for new versions and include that value in the request.

You typically only need to interact with this value if you implement your own retry logic and want to ensure that a given secret is not created twice. We recommend that you generate a UUID-type value to ensure uniqueness within the specified secret.

Secrets Manager uses this value to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate versions if there are failures and retries during the Lambda rotation function's processing.

If the ClientRequestToken value isn't already associated with a version of the secret then a new version of the secret is created.
If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString and SecretBinary values are the same as those in the request then the request is ignored (the operation is idempotent).
If a version with this value already exists and that version's SecretString and SecretBinary values are different from the request then an error occurs because you cannot modify an existing secret value.

This value becomes the VersionId of the new version.

Description

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies an updated user-provided description of the secret.

KmsKeyId

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies an updated ARN or alias of the Amazon Web Services KMS customer master key (CMK) that Secrets Manager uses to encrypt the protected text in new versions of this secret as well as any existing versions of this secret that have the staging labels AWSCURRENT, AWSPENDING, or AWSPREVIOUS. For more information about staging labels, see Staging Labels in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide.

You can only use the account's default CMK to encrypt and decrypt if you call this operation using credentials from the same account that owns the secret. If the secret is in a different account, then you must create a custom CMK and provide the ARN of that CMK in this field. The user making the call must have permissions to both the secret and the CMK in their respective accounts.

SecretBinary

Type: blob (string|resource|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface)

(Optional) Specifies updated binary data that you want to encrypt and store in the new version of the secret. To use this parameter in the command-line tools, we recommend that you store your binary data in a file and then use the appropriate technique for your tool to pass the contents of the file as a parameter. Either SecretBinary or SecretString must have a value, but not both. They cannot both be empty.

This parameter is not accessible using the Secrets Manager console.

SecretId

Required: Yes
Type: string

Specifies the secret that you want to modify or to which you want to add a new version. You can specify either the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or the friendly name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN.

SecretString

Type: string

(Optional) Specifies updated text data that you want to encrypt and store in this new version of the secret. Either SecretBinary or SecretString must have a value, but not both. They cannot both be empty.

    'Name' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]

Example 2: To update the KMS key associated with a secret

This example shows how to update the KMS customer managed key (CMK) used to encrypt the secret value. The KMS CMK must be in the same region as the secret.

$result = $client->updateSecret([
    'KmsKeyId' => 'arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/EXAMPLE2-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987EXAMPLE',

    'Name' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
]

Example 3: To create a new version of the encrypted secret value

The following example shows how to create a new version of the secret by updating the SecretString field. Alternatively, you can use the put-secret-value operation.

$result = $client->updateSecret([
    'SecretId' => 'MyTestDatabaseSecret',
    'SecretString' => '{JSON STRING WITH CREDENTIALS}',
]);

Result syntax:

]

UpdateSecretVersionStage

$result = $client->updateSecretVersionStage([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateSecretVersionStageAsync([/* ... */]);

Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Staging labels are used to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. You can attach a staging label to only one version of a secret at a time. If a staging label to be added is already attached to another version, then it is moved--removed from the other version first and then attached to this one. For more information about staging labels, see Staging Labels in the Amazon Web Services Secrets Manager User Guide.

The staging labels that you specify in the VersionStage parameter are added to the existing list of staging labels--they don't replace it.

You can move the AWSCURRENT staging label to this version by including it in this call.

Whenever you move AWSCURRENT, Secrets Manager automatically moves the label AWSPREVIOUS to the version that AWSCURRENT was removed from.

If this action results in the last label being removed from a version, then the version is considered to be 'deprecated' and can be deleted by Secrets Manager.

Minimum permissions

To run this command, you must have the following permissions:

secretsmanager:UpdateSecretVersionStage

Related operations

To get the list of staging labels that are currently associated with a version of a secret, use DescribeSecret and examine the SecretVersionsToStages response value.

Validates that the resource policy does not grant a wide range of IAM principals access to your secret. The JSON request string input and response output displays formatted code with white space and line breaks for better readability. Submit your input as a single line JSON string. A resource-based policy is optional for secrets.

The API performs three checks when validating the secret:

Sends a call to Zelkova, an automated reasoning engine, to ensure your Resource Policy does not allow broad access to your secret.
Checks for correct syntax in a policy.
Verifies the policy does not lock out a caller.
