KeyVault.getKeys()

On this page

  • Behavior
  • Example

New in version 4.2.

KeyVault.getKeys()

getKeys() returns all data encryption keys stored in the key vault associated to the database connection.

getKeys() has the following syntax:

keyVault = db.getMongo().getKeyVault()
keyVault.getKeys()
Returns:Returns all data encryption keys associated to the key vault.

Returns nothing if the key vault is empty.

The mongosh client-side field level encryption methods require a database connection with client-side field level encryption enabled. If the current database connection was not initiated with client-side field level encryption enabled, either:

  • Use the Mongo() constructor from the mongosh to establish a connection with the required client-side field level encryption options. The Mongo() method supports the following Key Management Service (KMS) providers for Customer Master Key (CMK) management:

    or

  • Use the mongosh command line options to establish a connection with the required options. The command line options only support the Amazon Web Services KMS provider for CMK management.

The following example uses a locally managed KMS for the client-side field level encryption configuration.

To configure client-side field level encryption for a locally managed key:

  • generate a base64-encoded 96-byte string with no line breaks

  • use mongosh to load the key

export TEST_LOCAL_KEY=$(echo "$(head -c 96 /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -d '\n')")
mongosh --nodb

Create the client-side field level encryption object using the generated local key string:

var autoEncryptionOpts = {
"keyVaultNamespace" : "encryption.__dataKeys",
"kmsProviders" : {
"local" : {
"key" : BinData(0, process.env["TEST_LOCAL_KEY"])
}
}
}

Use the Mongo() constructor with the client-side field level encryption options configured to create a database connection. Replace the mongodb://myMongo.example.net URI with the connection string URI of the target cluster.

encryptedClient = Mongo(
"mongodb://myMongo.example.net:27017/?replSetName=myMongo",
autoEncryptionOpts
)

Retrieve the KeyVault object and use the KeyVault.getKeys() method to retrieve all data encryption keys in the key vault:

keyVault.getKeys()

getKeys() returns all data encryption keys in the key vault, with output similar to the following:
