auth tune

The auth tune command tunes the configuration options for the auth method at the given PATH.

Note

The argument corresponds to the path where the auth method is enabled, not the auth type.

Examples

Before tuning the auth method configuration, view the current configuration of the auth method enabled at github/.

$ vault read sys/auth/github/tune
Key                  Value
---                  -----
default_lease_ttl    768h
description          n/a
force_no_cache       false
max_lease_ttl        768h
token_type           default-service

The default lease for the auth method enabled at github/ is currently set to 768 hours. Tune this value to 72 hours.

$ vault auth tune -default-lease-ttl=72h github/
Success! Tuned the auth method at: github/

Verify the updated configuration.

$ vault read sys/auth/github/tune
Key                  Value
---                  -----
default_lease_ttl    72h
description          n/a
force_no_cache       false
max_lease_ttl        768h
token_type           default-service

To restore back to the system default, you can use -1. 

$ vault auth tune -default-lease-ttl=-1 github/
Success! Tuned the auth method at: github/

Verify the updated configuration.

$ vault read sys/auth/github/tune
Key                  Value
---                  -----
default_lease_ttl    768h
description          n/a
force_no_cache       false
max_lease_ttl        768h
token_type           default-service

You can specify multiple audit non-hmac request keys.

$ vault auth tune -audit-non-hmac-request-keys=value1 -audit-non-hmac-request-keys=value2 github/
Success! Tuned the auth method at: github/

Enable user lockout

User lockout feature is only supported for userpass, ldap, and approle auth methods.

Tune the userpass/ auth method to lock out the user after 10 failed login attempts within 10 minutes.

$ vault auth tune -user-lockout-threshold=10  -user-lockout-duration=10m userpass/
Success! Tuned the auth method at: userpass/

View the current configuration of the auth method enabled at userpass/.

$ vault read sys/auth/userpass/tune

Key                  Value
---                  -----
default_lease_ttl    768h
description          n/a
force_no_cache       false
max_lease_ttl        768h
token_type           default-service
user_lockout_counter_reset_duration    0s
user_lockout_disable                   false
user_lockout_duration                  10m
user_lockout_threshold                 10

Usage

The following flags are available in addition to the standard set of flags included on all commands.

  • -allowed-response-headers (string: "") - response header values that the auth method will be allowed to set.

  • -audit-non-hmac-request-keys (string: "") - Key that will not be HMAC'd by audit devices in the request data object. Note that multiple keys may be specified by providing this option multiple times, each time with 1 key.

  • -audit-non-hmac-response-keys (string: "") - Key that will not be HMAC'd by audit devices in the response data object. Note that multiple keys may be specified by providing this option multiple times, each time with 1 key.

  • -default-lease-ttl (duration: "") - The default lease TTL for this auth method. If unspecified, this defaults to the Vault server's globally configured default lease TTL, or a previously configured value for the auth method.

  • -description (string: "") - Specifies the description of the auth method. This overrides the current stored value, if any.

  • -listing-visibility (string: "") - The flag to toggle whether to show the mount in the UI-specific listing endpoint. Valid values are "unauth" or "hidden". Passing empty string leaves the current setting unchanged.

  • -max-lease-ttl (duration: "") - The maximum lease TTL for this auth method. If unspecified, this defaults to the Vault server's globally configured maximum lease TTL, or a previously configured value for the auth method. This value is allowed to override the server's global max TTL; it can be longer or shorter.

  • -passthrough-request-headers (string: "") - request header values that will be sent to the auth method. Note that multiple keys may be specified by providing this option multiple times, each time with 1 key.

  • -token-type (string: "") - Specifies the type of tokens that should be returned by the auth method.

  • -trim-request-trailing-slashes (bool: false) - If true, requests to this mount with trailing slashes will have those slashes trimmed. Necessary for some standards based APIs handled by Vault.

  • -plugin-version (string: "") - Configures the semantic version of the plugin to use. The new version will not start running until the mount is reloaded.

  • -user-lockout-threshold (string: "") - Specifies the number of failed login attempts after which the user is locked out. User lockout feature was added in Vault 1.13.

  • -user-lockout-duration (duration: "") - Specifies the duration for which a user will be locked out. User lockout feature was added in Vault 1.13.

  • -user-lockout-counter-reset-duration (duration: "") - Specifies the duration after which the lockout counter is reset with no failed login attempts. User lockout feature was added in Vault 1.13.

  • -user-lockout-disable (bool: false) - Disables the user lockout feature if set to true. User lockout feature was added in Vault 1.13.
