HashiCorp Vault custom secrets engine for Apigee

Go Reference Go Report Card GitHub release (latest SemVer including pre-releases)

Apigee helps companies design, secure, and scale application programming interfaces (APIs).

Apigee apps contain a consumer key and consumer secret (credentials), which are typically used to obtain an OAuth2 access token for API access. These credentials have an expiry, by default never. For zero trust security use cases, instead of apps using static, long-lived credentials, the Vault Apigee secrets engine generates dynamic, short-lived credentials, aka ephemeral credentials, enabling frequent rotation.

Credentials can be generated via the Vault CLI and API.

Use Case

Build / Test or Get Binary

git clone https://github.com/bstraehle/vault-plugin-secrets-apigee.git
cd vault-plugin-secrets-apigee

go build -o vault/plugins/vault-plugin-secrets-apigee cmd/vault-plugin-secrets-apigee/main.go
go test -v

or

cd vault/plugins
wget https://github.com/bstraehle/vault-plugin-secrets-apigee/releases/download/v1.0.9/vault-plugin-secrets-apigee-linux-amd64

chmod 700 vault-plugin-secrets-apigee

Register Plugin

Add plugin directory to server configuration

cat > vault/server.hcl << EOF
plugin_directory = "$(pwd)/vault/plugins"
api_addr         = "http://127.0.0.1:8200"

listener "tcp" {
  address     = "127.0.0.1:8200"
  tls_disable = "true"
}

storage "file" {
  path = "/tmp/vault-data"
}
EOF

Start server

vault server -config=vault/server.hcl -log-level=trace

In new terminal, initialize and unseal Vault

export VAULT_ADDR='http://127.0.0.1:8200'

vault operator init
vault operator unseal

Register plugin
