azurerm_key_vault_secret resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the azurerm_key_vault_secret InSpec audit resource to test properties and configuration of an Azure Secret within a Vault.

Azure REST API version

This resource interacts with version 2016-10-01 of the Azure Management API. For more information see the Official Azure Documentation.

At the moment, there doesn’t appear to be a way to select the version of the Azure API docs. If you notice a newer version being referenced in the official documentation please open an issue or submit a pull request using the updated version.

Availability

Installation

This resource is available in the inspec-azure resource pack. To use it, add the following to your inspec.yml in your top-level profile:

depends:
  - name: inspec-azure
    git: https://github.com/inspec/inspec-azure.git

You’ll also need to setup your Azure credentials; see the resource pack README.

Version

This resource first became available in 1.3.0 of the inspec-azure resource pack.

Syntax

The vault_name and secret_name must be given as a parameter.

You may also specify a secret_version - if no version is specified, the most recent version of the secret will be used.

describe azurerm_key_vault_secret('vault-101', 'secret-101') do
    it           { should exist }
    its('value') { should_not be_nil }
end

Examples

If a Key Vault Secret is referenced with a valid Vault Name, Secret Name and Secret Version

describe azurerm_key_vault_secret('vault-101', 'secret-101', '7df9bf2c3b4347bab213ebe233f0e350') do
    its('value')       { should_not be_nil }
end

If a Key Vault Secret is referenced with an invalid Vault Name or Secret Name

describe azurerm_key_vault_secret('vault-101', 'incorrect-secret') do
    it { should_not exist }
end

Parameters

  • vault_name - The name of the Key Vault.
  • secret_name - The name of the Key.
  • secret_version (Optional) - The version of a Key, e.g. 7df9bf2c3b4347bab213ebe233f0e350.

  • attributes
  • kid

id

The secret id.

value

The secret value.

attributes

The secret management attributes.

kid

If this is a secret backing a KV certificate, then this field specifies the corresponding key backing the KV certificate.

content_type

The content type of the secret.

True if the secret’s lifetime is managed by key vault. If this is a secret backing a certificate, then managed will be true.

tags

Resource tags applied to the Secret.

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

exists

describe azurerm_key_vault_secret('vault-101', 'secret') do
  it { should exist }

Azure Permissions

Your Service Principal must be setup with a contributor role on the subscription you wish to test. Your Azure Key Vault should also have this Service Principal listed in it’s Access Policy with both secret/get and secret/list permissions.
