The examples below assume that credentials have been saved to your environment. If you don’t have variables saved to your environment or you wish to use different credentials than those defined, any of the optional arguments listed above may be passed to Barbican.
Barbican takes a positional argument <entity>, which specifies whether you wish to operate on a secret or an order.
Secrets¶
$ barbican secret <action>
A subcommand describing the action to be performed should follow. The subcommands are mostly the same for secrets and orders, although some optional arguments only apply to one or the other.
Subcommand actions that a user can take for secrets are:
secret delete Delete a secret by providing its URI.
secret get Retrieve a secret by providing its URI.
secret list List secrets.
secret store Store a secret in Barbican.
Each subcommand takes in a different set of arguments, and the help message varies from one to another. The help message for get can be seen below.
$ barbican help secret get
usage: barbican secret get [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}] [-c COLUMN]
[--max-width <integer>] [--fit-width]
[--print-empty] [--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
[--decrypt | --payload | --file <filename>]
[--payload_content_type PAYLOAD_CONTENT_TYPE]
URI
Retrieve a secret by providing its URI.
positional arguments:
URI The URI reference for the secret.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--decrypt, -d if specified, retrieve the unencrypted secret data.
--payload, -p if specified, retrieve the unencrypted secret data.
--file <filename>, -F <filename>
if specified, save the payload to a new file with the
given filename.
--payload_content_type PAYLOAD_CONTENT_TYPE, -t PAYLOAD_CONTENT_TYPE
the content type of the decrypted secret (default:
text/plain).
output formatters:
output formatter options
-f {shell,table,value}, --format {shell,table,value}
the output format, defaults to table
-c COLUMN, --column COLUMN
specify the column(s) to include, can be repeated
table formatter:
--max-width <integer>
Maximum display width, 0 to disable
shell formatter:
a format a UNIX shell can parse (variable="value")
--prefix PREFIX add a prefix to all variable names
Secret Create¶
$ barbican secret store -n mysecretname -p 'my secret value'
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Secret href | http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e |
| Name | mysecretname |
| Created | None |
| Status | None |
| Content types | None |
| Algorithm | aes |
| Bit length | 256 |
| Mode | cbc |
| Expiration | None |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Instead of using the -p or --payload option with the
value of the secret in the command line, the value of
the secret may be stored in a file. For this method the
-F <filename> or --file <filename> option can be used.
Secret Get¶
$ barbican secret get http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Secret href | http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e |
| Name | mysecretname |
| Created | 2015-04-16 20:36:40.334696+00:00 |
| Status | ACTIVE |
| Content types | {u'default': u'application/octet-stream'} |
| Algorithm | aes |
| Bit length | 256 |
| Mode | cbc |
| Expiration | None |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
To retrieve only the raw value of the payload we have introduced the -p
or --payload option paired with the -f value cliff formatting
option. (The --decrypt option will perform the same action; however,
it will be deprecated)
$ barbican secret get http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e --payload -f value
my secret value
Instead of using the -p or --payload option with the
value of the secret returned to stdout, the value of
the secret may be written to a file. For this method the
-F <filename> or --file <filename> option can be used.
Secret Delete¶
$ barbican secret delete http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e
Secret Update¶
$ barbican secret update http://localhost:9311/v1/secrets/a70a45d8-4076-42a2-b111-8893d3b92a3e ``my_payload``
In order for a secret to be updated it must have been created without a payload.
my_payload will be added as the secret’s payload.
Secret List¶
$ barbican secret list
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+------+----------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------------+-----------+------------+------+------------+
| Secret href | Name | Created | Status | Content types | Algorithm | Bit length | Mode | Expiration |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+------+----------------------------------+--------+-------------------------------------------+-----------+------------+------+------------+
ACLS¶
$ barbican acl <action>
A subcommand describing the action to be performed should follow. The subcommands are mostly the same for secret and container ACLs.
Subcommand actions that a user can take for ACLs are:
acl delete Delete ACLs for a secret or container as identified by its href.
acl get Retrieve ACLs for a secret or container by providing its href.
acl submit Submit ACL on a secret or container as identified by its href.
acl user add Add ACL users to a secret or container as identified by its href.
acl user remove Remove ACL users from a secret or container as identified by its href.
ACL get or delete subcommand, only takes secret or container href. All other ACL commands take additional arguments to specify ACL settings data. Please see help message for both cases of argument. Either secret ref or container ref is required for all of acl actions.
$ barbican help acl get
usage: barbican acl get [-h] [-f {csv,table,value}] [-c COLUMN]
[--max-width <integer>]
[--quote {all,minimal,none,nonnumeric}]
URI
Retrieve ACLs for a secret or container by providing its href.
positional arguments:
URI The URI reference for the secret or container.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
output formatters:
output formatter options
-f {csv,table,value}, --format {csv,table,value}
the output format, defaults to table
-c COLUMN, --column COLUMN
specify the column(s) to include, can be repeated
table formatter:
--max-width <integer>
Maximum display width, 0 to disable
CSV Formatter:
--quote {all,minimal,none,nonnumeric}
when to include quotes, defaults to nonnumeric
Following is snippet of related command line options for an ACL modify action e.g. submit, add or remove.
$ barbican help acl submit/user add/user remove
usage: barbican acl submit [-h] [-f {csv,table,value}] [-c COLUMN]
[--max-width <integer>]
[--quote {all,minimal,none,nonnumeric}]
[--user [USER]]
[--project-access | --no-project-access]
[--operation-type {read}]
URI
....
....
positional arguments:
URI The URI reference for the secret or container.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--user [USER], -u [USER]
Keystone userid(s) for ACL.
--project-access Flag to enable project access behavior.
--no-project-access Flag to disable project access behavior.
--operation-type {read}, -o {read}
Type of Barbican operation ACL is set for
....
....
Note
Default for operation-type argument is ‘read’ as that’s the only operation
currently supported by Barbican ACL API. So this argument can be skipped in
CLI call.
ACLs Get¶
To get complete ACL setting for a secret or container, use this ACL action.

If user argument is missing or has no value, then empty list is passed for
users and this approach can be used to remove existing ACL users. If project
access argument is not provided, then by default project access is enabled. To
disable project access behavior, just pass no-project-access argument
without any value.

To add ACL users for a secret or container, use this ACL action.
If user argument is missing or has no value, then no change is made in ACL
users. If project access argument is not provided, then no change is made in
existing project access behavior flag.

To remove ACL users for a secret or container, use this ACL action.
If user argument is missing or has no value, then no change is made in ACL
users. If project access argument is not provided, then no change is made in
existing project access behavior flag.
If provided userid(s) does not exist in ACL, it is simply ignored and only existing userid(s) are removed from ACL.
