CancelRotateSecret

Turns off automatic rotation, and if a rotation is currently in progress, cancels the rotation.

If you cancel a rotation in progress, it can leave the VersionStage labels in an unexpected state. You might need to remove the staging label AWSPENDING from the partially created version. You also need to determine whether to roll back to the previous version of the secret by moving the staging label AWSCURRENT to the version that has AWSPENDING. To determine which version has a specific staging label, call ListSecretVersionIds. Then use UpdateSecretVersionStage to change staging labels. For more information, see How rotation works.

To turn on automatic rotation again, call RotateSecret.

Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters because it might be logged. For more information, see Logging Secrets Manager events with AWS CloudTrail.

Required permissions: secretsmanager:CancelRotateSecret. For more information, see IAM policy actions for Secrets Manager and Authentication and access control in Secrets Manager.

Request Syntax


{
   "SecretId": "string"
}

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

SecretId

The ARN or name of the secret.

For an ARN, we recommend that you specify a complete ARN rather than a partial ARN. See Finding a secret from a partial ARN.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

Response Syntax


{
   "ARN": "string",
   "Name": "string",
   "VersionId": "string"
}

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

ARN

The ARN of the secret.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Name

The name of the secret.

Type: String

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

VersionId

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. We recommend that you remove the VersionStage value AWSPENDING from this version so that Secrets Manager can delete it. Failing to clean up a cancelled rotation can block you from starting future rotations.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 32. Maximum length of 64.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServiceError

An error occurred on the server side.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidParameterException

The parameter name or value is invalid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidRequestException

A parameter value is not valid for the current state of the resource.

Possible causes:

The secret is scheduled for deletion.
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.
The secret is managed by another service, and you must use that service to update it. For more information, see Secrets managed by other AWS services.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceNotFoundException

Secrets Manager can't find the resource that you asked for.

HTTP Status Code: 400
