Overview

Azure Key Vault (AKV) is a cloud key management service (KMS) that provides a secure store for secrets. This feature allows ONTAP to securely store its encryption keys using AKV. In order to use AKV with ONTAP, you must first deploy an Azure application with the appropriate access to an AKV and then provide ONTAP with the necessary details, such as key vault name, application ID so that ONTAP can communicate with the deployed Azure application.

Examples

Creating an AKV for a cluster

The example AKV is configured at the cluster-scope. Note the return_records=true query parameter is used to obtain the newly created key manager configuration.

# The API:
POST /api/security/azure-key-vaults

# The call:
curl -X POST 'https://<mgmt-ip>/api/security/azure-key-vaults?return_records=true' -H 'accept: application/hal+json' -d "{ \"client_id\": \"client1\", \"tenant_id\": \"tenant1\", \"name\": \"https:://mykeyvault.azure.vault.net/\", \"key_id\": \"https://keyvault-test.vault.azure.net/keys/key1/a8e619fd8f234db3b0b95c59540e2a74\", \"client_secret\" : \"myclientPwd\" }"

# The response:
