      Note

      You can only update the key reference name but not the external Key GUID
      .
  • Open a command prompt and run oci kms management key update to update a key reference:

    ooci kms management key update --external-key-reference

    Avoid entering confidential information.

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for Vault CLI commands, see Command Line Reference.

  • Run the UpdateKey operation to update key reference

    Note

    Each region has a unique endpoint for create, update, and list operations for secrets. This endpoint is referred to as the control plane URL or secret management endpoint. Each region also has a unique endpoint for operations related to retrieving secret contents. This endpoint is known as the data plane URL or the secret retrieval endpoint. For regional endpoints, see the API Documentation.
