Listing Keys

Learn how to navigate to the list view for keys in the OCI Console.

    1. Open the navigation menu , select Identity & Security, and then select Vault.

      The Vaults list page opens. All vaults in the selected compartment are displayed in a table.

    2. Select the name of a vault containing the keys you want to list to open the vault's details page.
    3. Select Master Encryption Keys to see a list of the keys in the selected vault.
    4. To view the keys in a different compartment, use the Compartment filter to switch compartments.

      You must have permission to work in a compartment to see the resources in it. If you're not sure which compartment to use, contact an administrator. For more information, see Understanding Compartments.

    Filtering List Results

    Use filters to limit the keys in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:

    • From the Search and Filter box above the list table, select one or more filters and specify the values that you want to use to narrow the list. In general, the filters correspond to the columns shown in the list table, although some filters represent attributes that aren't shown in the table. The Compartment filter is always displayed next to Applied filters.
    • On the left side of the list page, select a value from one of the available filters, such as compartment, state, or tags.

    Change the order of the items in the list table by using the sort icons next to the column names.

    For information about searching for resources and managing the columns in the list table, if those features are available, see Listing Resources.

    Actions

    In the list table, select the name of a <resourceType> to open its details page, where you can view its status and perform other tasks.

    To perform an action on a <resourceType> directly from the list table, select any of the following options from the Actions menu Actions Menu in the row for that <resourceType>:

    To create a key, select Create Key and follow the instructions in Creating a Master Encryption Key.

  • Use the oci kms management key list command and required parameters to list the master encryption keys in the specified vault and compartment:

    oci kms management key list --compartment-id <compartment_ocid> --endpoint <kmsmanagement_endpoint> [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the ListKeys operation with the Management Endpoint to list the master encryption keys in the specified vault and compartment.

    Note

    The Management Endpoint is used for management operations including Create, Update, List, Get, and Delete. The Management Endpoint is also called the control plane URL or the KMSMANAGEMENT endpoint.

    The Cryptographic Endpoint is used for cryptographic operations including Encrypt, Decrypt, Generate Data Encryption Key, Sign, and Verify. The Cryptographic Endpoint is also called the data plane URL or the KMSCRYPTO endpoint.

    You can find the management and cryptographic endpoints in a vault's details metadata. See Getting a Vault's Details for instructions.

    For regional endpoints for the Key Management, Secret Management, and Secret Retrieval APIs, see API Reference and Endpoints.

    For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see SDKs and the CLI.
