UpdateCustomKeyStore - AWS Key Management Service
Request SyntaxRequest ParametersResponse ElementsErrorsSee Also

UpdateCustomKeyStore

Changes the properties of a custom key store. You can use this operation to change the properties of an AWS CloudHSM key store or an external key store.

Use the required CustomKeyStoreId parameter to identify the custom key store. Use the remaining optional parameters to change its properties. This operation does not return any property values. To verify the updated property values, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.

This operation is part of the custom key stores feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a key store that you own and manage.

Important

When updating the properties of an external key store, verify that the updated settings connect your key store, via the external key store proxy, to the same external key manager as the previous settings, or to a backup or snapshot of the external key manager with the same cryptographic keys. If the updated connection settings fail, you can fix them and retry, although an extended delay might disrupt AWS services. However, if AWS KMS permanently loses its access to cryptographic keys, ciphertext encrypted under those keys is unrecoverable.

Note

For external key stores:

Some external key managers provide a simpler method for updating an external key store. For details, see your external key manager documentation.

When updating an external key store in the AWS KMS console, you can upload a JSON-based proxy configuration file with the desired values. You cannot upload the proxy configuration file to the UpdateCustomKeyStore operation. However, you can use the file to help you determine the correct values for the UpdateCustomKeyStore parameters.

For an AWS CloudHSM key store, you can use this operation to change the custom key store friendly name (NewCustomKeyStoreName), to tell AWS KMS about a change to the kmsuser crypto user password (KeyStorePassword), or to associate the custom key store with a different, but related, AWS CloudHSM cluster (CloudHsmClusterId). To update any property of an AWS CloudHSM key store, the ConnectionState of the AWS CloudHSM key store must be DISCONNECTED.

For an external key store, you can use this operation to change the custom key store friendly name (NewCustomKeyStoreName), or to tell AWS KMS about a change to the external key store proxy authentication credentials (XksProxyAuthenticationCredential), connection method (XksProxyConnectivity), external proxy endpoint (XksProxyUriEndpoint) and path (XksProxyUriPath). For external key stores with an XksProxyConnectivity of VPC_ENDPOINT_SERVICE, you can also update the Amazon VPC endpoint service name (XksProxyVpcEndpointServiceName). To update most properties of an external key store, the ConnectionState of the external key store must be DISCONNECTED. However, you can update the CustomKeyStoreName, XksProxyAuthenticationCredential, and XksProxyUriPath of an external key store when it is in the CONNECTED or DISCONNECTED state.

If your update requires a DISCONNECTED state, before using UpdateCustomKeyStore, use the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation to disconnect the custom key store. After the UpdateCustomKeyStore operation completes, use the ConnectCustomKeyStore to reconnect the custom key store. To find the ConnectionState of the custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.

Before updating the custom key store, verify that the new values allow AWS KMS to connect the custom key store to its backing key store. For example, before you change the XksProxyUriPath value, verify that the external key store proxy is reachable at the new path.

If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.

Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a custom key store in a different AWS account.

Required permissions: kms:UpdateCustomKeyStore (IAM policy)

Pattern: cluster-[2-7a-zA-Z]{11,16}

Required: No

KeyStorePassword

Enter the current password of the kmsuser crypto user (CU) in the AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with the custom key store. This parameter is valid only for custom key stores with a CustomKeyStoreType of AWS_CLOUDHSM.

This parameter tells AWS KMS the current password of the kmsuser crypto user (CU). It does not set or change the password of any users in the AWS CloudHSM cluster.

To change this value, the AWS CloudHSM key store must be disconnected.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 7. Maximum length of 32.

Required: No

NewCustomKeyStoreName

Changes the friendly name of the custom key store to the value that you specify. The custom key store name must be unique in the AWS account.

Important

Do not include confidential or sensitive information in this field. This field may be displayed in plaintext in CloudTrail logs and other output.

To change this value, an AWS CloudHSM key store must be disconnected. An external key store can be connected or disconnected.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

You must specify both the AccessKeyId and SecretAccessKey value in the authentication credential, even if you are only updating one value.

This parameter doesn't establish or change your authentication credentials on the proxy. It just tells AWS KMS the credential that you established with your external key store proxy. For example, if you rotate the credential on your external key store proxy, you can use this parameter to update the credential in AWS KMS.

You can change this value when the external key store is connected or disconnected.

Type: XksProxyAuthenticationCredentialType object

Required: No

XksProxyConnectivity

Changes the connectivity setting for the external key store. To indicate that the external key store proxy uses a Amazon VPC endpoint service to communicate with AWS KMS, specify VPC_ENDPOINT_SERVICE. Otherwise, specify PUBLIC_ENDPOINT.

If you change the XksProxyConnectivity to VPC_ENDPOINT_SERVICE, you must also change the XksProxyUriEndpoint and add an XksProxyVpcEndpointServiceName value.

If you change the XksProxyConnectivity to PUBLIC_ENDPOINT, you must also change the XksProxyUriEndpoint and specify a null or empty string for the XksProxyVpcEndpointServiceName value.

To change this value, the external key store must be disconnected.

Type: String
