The MinIO-KES configuration is always the same - regardless of the underlying KMS implementation.
Checkout the MinIO-KES [configuration example](https://github.com/minio/kes/wiki/MinIO-Object-Storage).

## Auto Encryption
Optionally, you can instruct the MinIO server to automatically encrypt all objects with keys from the KES
server - even if the client does not specify any encryption headers during the S3 PUT operation.
Auto-Encryption is useful when MinIO administrator wants to ensure that all data stored on MinIO is encrypted at rest.
Auto-Encryption is especially useful when the MinIO operator wants to ensure that all data stored on MinIO
gets encrypted before it's written to the storage backend.
MinIO automatically encrypts all objects on buckets if KMS is successfully configured and bucket encryption configuration is enabled for each bucket as shown below:
```
mc encrypt sse-s3 myminio/bucket/
```
To enable auto-encryption set the environment variable to `on`:
Verify if MinIO has `sse-s3` enabled
```
export MINIO_KMS_AUTO_ENCRYPTION=on
mc encrypt info myminio/bucket/
Auto encryption 'sse-s3' is enabled
```
> Note that auto-encryption only affects requests without S3 encryption headers. So, if a S3 client sends
> e.g. SSE-C headers, MinIO will encrypt the object with the key sent by the client and won't reach out to
> the KMS.
> the configured KMS.
To verify auto-encryption, use the `mc` command:
To verify auto-encryption, use the following `mc` command:
```
mc cp test.file myminio/bucket/
