# KMS Quickstart Guide [](https://slack.minio.io)
|
|
|
|
KMS feature allows you to use Vault to generate and manages keys which are used by the minio server to encrypt objects.This document explains how to configure Minio with Vault as KMS.
|
|
|
|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
### 1. Prerequisites
|
|
Install Minio - [Minio Quickstart Guide](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-quickstart-guide).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configure Vault
|
|
Vault as Key Management System requires following to be configured in Vault
|
|
|
|
- transit backend configured with a named encryption key-ring
|
|
- AppRole based authentication with read/update policy for transit backend. In particular, read and update policy
|
|
are required for the generate data key endpoint and decrypt key endpoint.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Environment variables
|
|
|
|
You'll need the Vault endpoint, AppRole ID, AppRole SecretID, encryption key-ring name before starting Minio server with Vault as KMS
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_APPROLE_ID=9b56cc08-8258-45d5-24a3-679876769126
|
|
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET=4e30c52f-13e4-a6f5-0763-d50e8cb4321f
|
|
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_ENDPOINT=https://vault-endpoint-ip:8200
|
|
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_KEY_NAME=my-minio-key
|
|
minio server ~/export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally set `MINIO_SSE_VAULT_CAPATH` is the path to a directory of PEM-encoded CA cert files to verify the Vault server SSL certificate.
|
|
```
|
|
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_CAPATH=/home/user/custom-pems
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Test your setup
|
|
|
|
To test this setup, access the Minio server via browser or [`mc`](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide). You’ll see the uploaded files are accessible from the all the Minio endpoints.
