rustfs/backlog#1636 rejected a built-in rotation scheduler: rotation is a policy decision with a per-backend cost and a hard upgrade-ordering constraint, and a server that rotated on its own would make that decision on an operator's behalf at a moment they did not choose. This is what that issue resolved to deliver instead — the signal, without the actuator.
RUSTFS_KMS_ROTATION_MAX_AGE_SECS names the period. Unset leaves the verdict unreported rather than assuming a policy, because how often keys must be rotated is a compliance decision and a built-in default would report keys as overdue against a rule nobody wrote; an unparsable value is refused the same way, loudly. Values below an hour are raised to it, since a threshold of seconds reports every key as overdue moments after it was rotated and teaches operators to ignore the signal.
KeyInfo gains rotation_due and rotation_due_reason, both additive on the wire and both filled in by the manager rather than by each backend, so no two backends can disagree about what overdue means. A backend that does not advertise rotation reports unsupported and is never reported as due — it must not be told to do something it cannot. A key with no recorded rotation is measured from creation, which is how long its material has actually been in use, and is distinguished from a stale rotation so an operator can tell "overdue again" from "never once". Ages are computed saturating, so a timestamp from a node running ahead cannot manufacture an overdue key.
The verdict is advisory in the strongest sense: nothing consults it before encrypting or decrypting, a key reported as due keeps serving traffic, and readiness is unaffected.
The single-key describe response deliberately does not carry the verdict. Its type records a creation date but no rotation timestamp, so a verdict computed there could not tell a key rotated last week from one never rotated, and reporting never_rotated for a key that was in fact rotated is worse than reporting nothing.
The wraps-based branch the issue also specifies is not implemented: it depends on the per-key wrap accounting that does not exist yet.
* Add black-box behavior tests for KMS resilience and serialization
* fix(kms): repair unopenable ciphertext across backends
Black-box testing of the KMS crate surfaced several defects that make
encrypted data permanently unreadable.
Symmetric envelopes. The Local and Vault Transit backends returned raw
cipher output from `encrypt` while `decrypt` parsed a JSON envelope, so
anything sealed through the master-key path could never be opened again.
Local also discarded the AES-GCM nonce. Both now emit the same envelope
`decrypt` consumes, matching the Static backend.
Deterministic AAD. The object layer derived AEAD additional data by
serializing a `HashMap` directly. Iteration order differs per instance,
so a context rebuilt from storage produced different AAD bytes than the
one used to seal and the object stopped opening. Ordering by key removes
that dependency, matching the Static backend's existing `context_aad`.
Objects written with the default single-key context are unaffected,
since a one-entry map has only one serialization.
Cipher in the header projection. `metadata_to_headers` recorded the SSE
mode (`AES256` / `aws:kms`), which cannot represent ChaCha20-Poly1305,
so a ChaCha-sealed object came back claiming `aws:kms` and was opened
with the wrong cipher. The cipher now travels in
`x-rustfs-encryption-algorithm` — the header the storage layer already
reads but nothing ever wrote. Objects without it fall back as before.
Also: the Static backend ignored `key_spec` and always issued 256-bit
data keys; Local `list_keys` hardcoded `truncated: false`, ignored
`marker`, and paginated over unordered `read_dir`, so a paginating
client silently saw a partial key list; and Local and Vault KV2 reported
`key_id: "unknown"` from `decrypt` despite the envelope naming the
master key.

* test(kms): cover both Vault backends and key rotation
The behavior suite ran only against Local and Static, and its own harness
documented the gap: the Vault backends had no business-capability
coverage at all. Setting `RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN` now adds Vault KV2 and
Vault Transit to every `for_each_backend` spec against a live server.
That lane is what surfaced the Transit envelope defect fixed in the
previous commit.
`rotate` and `versioning` are advertised only by the Vault backends, so
until now every capability-gated branch for them took the
`UnsupportedCapability` side and the working half was never asserted — a
rotation that dropped prior key versions would have gone green. The new
`behavior_rotation.rs` pins that half: material sealed before a rotation
still opens after it, repeated rotations accumulate versions rather than
overwriting a single spare, and the history survives a restart.
Two test defects fixed. `objects_round_trip_across_sizes_and_algorithms`
asserted a 1-byte object differs from its own ciphertext, which collides
once every 256 runs; the assertion now applies only where a collision is
not realistic, and small objects stay covered by the tag check and the
decrypt round-trip. `test_from_env_selects_token_file` depended on
`RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN` being absent from the caller's environment and
now clears it explicitly.
The snapshots directory was also removed from `.gitignore`: insta
snapshots are the assertions themselves, so leaving them untracked gives
CI nothing to compare against. Only `.snap.new` scratch files are
ignored now.

* test(kms): adapt behavior suite to current key APIs
Rebasing onto main brought four API changes the suite predates.
`DeleteKeyRequest` gained `confirm_key_id`, and immediate deletion is now
gated on the server's `allow_immediate_deletion`. Scheduled deletions pass
`None`; the four specs that destroy a key outright echo the key id back
and opt the harness config in, which is what the gate asks of a real
caller.
`LocalBackupExportRequest` gained `sanitized_config`. These specs cover
the key-material path, so they seal no configuration and pass `None`.
`KmsCacheStats` became a named struct with real hit, miss, and eviction
counters. `cache_stats_returns_an_entry_count_and_no_hit_or_miss_data`
existed to pin the old placeholder behavior — that the second tuple
element was always zero — which main has since fixed, so it is now
`cache_stats_reports_hits_and_misses_separately` and asserts the counters
actually move.
Starting the service provisions the reserved probe key, so it shows up in
listings and backup bundles. Exact-set assertions filter it through a new
`without_probe_key` helper rather than naming it, keeping those specs
about the keys they seeded.

* fix(kms): bind the AAD to the stored context bytes
Review caught that canonicalizing the AAD on decrypt breaks objects sealed
before canonicalization existed, and it was right. The AAD is the
*serialization* of the encryption context, and `x-rustfs-encryption-context`
stores that exact byte sequence: `encrypt_object` fed one `HashMap` to the
AEAD and then moved the same map into the metadata the header is written
from, so the stored string is byte-identical to the AAD the object was
sealed under. Those objects are therefore recoverable — but only while
nothing round-trips the value through a `HashMap` and re-serializes it.
Recomputing sorted AAD on decrypt would have turned a readable object into
a permanently unreadable one. The previous behavior was worse than the
first analysis credited: it did not merely fail intermittently, it made
the failure deterministic.
`EncryptionMetadata` now carries `context_aad`, the bytes the object was
actually sealed with. Encryption records what it fed the AEAD, the header
projection stores those bytes verbatim (and preserves a legacy ordering
across a re-projection rather than rewriting it into sorted form), and
`headers_to_metadata` carries the stored string through untouched. Both
decrypt paths, SSE-KMS and SSE-C, prefer it and fall back to canonical
serialization only when no stored serialization exists. Canonicalization
still applies to everything newly sealed, so the original ordering bug
cannot recur.
Two tests pin this: a legacy record whose sealed bytes are non-canonical
must survive a full header round trip unchanged, and a context header
rewritten to an equivalent-but-reordered serialization must fail
authentication rather than silently re-deriving a working AAD. Both were
mutation-checked against the reinstated bug on each side.
Also from review: the lifecycle churn test asserted only that every
request was accounted for, which holds whether the state gate exists or
not, so both branches are now pinned deterministically after the churn
(asserting `refused > 0` on the concurrent phase would only trade the hole
for a scheduling flake). And the Local and Vault KV2 envelopes compare
`encryption_context` without authenticating it — `DekCrypto` seals only
the plaintext — which is now documented at both sites; closing it needs a
versioned envelope, since existing ciphertext was sealed without AAD.

* docs(kms): correct the static backend's MinIO compatibility claim
`StaticConfig` claimed the backend derives DEKs via "HMAC-SHA256 +
AES-256-GCM, matching the MinIO builtin/static KMS wire format". Neither
half holds: the configured key is used directly as the AES-256-GCM key
with no derivation step, and wrapped DEKs are serialized as RustFS's own
`DataKeyEnvelope` JSON. MinIO's KMS ciphertext uses a different shape,
which `is_data_key_envelope` explicitly classifies as foreign (see the
`minio_legacy` case in encryption/dek.rs).
The claim as written tells a migrating operator that MinIO-written
ciphertext will open here, which it will not. Restate what the backend
actually does and point at rustfs/backlog#1638 for the real interop work.
Also refresh the neighbouring ciphertext-format note in static_kms.rs,
which still described a raw `ciphertext || nonce` layout that the JSON
envelope replaced.
* ci(minio-interop): fix the dead test selector and guard against empty runs
The job selected its tests with `-p rustfs-ecstore -E
'binary(minio_generated_read_test)'`. #5435 moved those reader tests from
crates/ecstore/tests/minio_generated_read_test.rs into the `rustfs` crate
as a `#[cfg(test)] mod`, which removed that test binary; the selector has
selected zero interop tests since. Point it at the tests where they now
live, verified locally:
cargo nextest list --run-ignored all -p rustfs --features rio-v2 \
-E 'test(minio_generated_read_test::)' # 4 tests, was 0
Add a guard step in front of the run. The old `binary(...)` form happened
to fail loudly once its binary disappeared, but the name-based form that
replaces it is a valid filterset even when it matches nothing, so a later
rename would silently reduce this job to a pass that asserts nothing. The
guard counts the selection and fails with an explicit reason; the count
comes from `filter-match.status`, since the JSON's top-level `test-count`
is the package total and ignores `-E`. `--no-tests=fail` on the run step
covers the same case if the guard is ever dropped.
Also record in the header what this job does and does not prove: MinIO
wrapped-DEK envelopes are still rejected by both envelope parsers, and
that work is tracked in rustfs/backlog#1638.
* fix(kms): honour the configured metadata cache TTL and metrics switch
KmsManager::new built the KmsCache from cache_config.max_keys alone, so
cache_config.ttl was dead configuration: every deployment ran the
hardcoded 300s window whatever the admin configure API was given, while
CacheSummary and the KMS config endpoint reported the configured value
back. cache_config.enable_metrics was never read anywhere.
Build the cache from the whole CacheConfig. The documented default is
reconciled down to the 300s the cache has always used rather than up to
the advertised 3600s, and now lives in one place (DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL)
instead of being duplicated across the four configure-request
converters, so the default path behaves exactly as before.
Behaviour change: a deployment configured through the admin API already
has ttl 3600 persisted, because the old converters wrote that default
into the stored config, so its describe_key staleness window widens from
an effective 300s to the 3600s it asked for. No cryptographic or
authorization path widens - encrypt, decrypt and generate_data_key go
straight to the backend and never read this cache. The Vault Transit
backend's own metadata cache, which does gate crypto through
ensure_key_state_allows, stays fixed at 300s and is now documented as
deliberately not operator-tunable.
The configured duration now reaches moka's builder, which panics above
1000 years, so CacheConfig::effective_ttl clamps to a 24h maximum the
way effective_timeout already clamps its own, and validate rejects a
zero TTL beside the existing max_keys check. Both config summaries and
the KMS config endpoint report the effective value, so the admin API
cannot advertise a lifetime the cache does not honour.
enable_metrics gates publication of the rustfs_kms_metadata_cache_*
families only; the counters behind the admin status API keep running
either way. No configure-request field sets it yet.
Refs rustfs/backlog#1584
* docs(kms): state why the Transit metadata TTL is not bound to the default
The comment claimed the constant matches config::DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL, which
reads as an invariant the code does not enforce. Say plainly that the
equality is a coincidence rather than a contract, and why binding the two
would be wrong: this cache gates crypto through ensure_key_state_allows,
so a later change to the operator-facing describe-cache default must not
be able to widen its staleness window.
* feat(kms): add AppRole configuration surface for Vault auth
Extend VaultAuthMethod::AppRole with secret_id_file (re-read on every
login so external rotation is picked up), a configurable auth mount
(default "approle"), and an optional fail-closed safety window. All new
fields are serde(default) so previously persisted configurations keep
deserializing, and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts them
as optional.
Environment selection: setting RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID switches
both Vault backends to AppRole; the secret_id comes from
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID_FILE (path stored, file wins) or
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID, following the static secret-key file
precedent. validate() rejects AppRole configs without a role_id, without
any secret_id source, or with an empty mount.
Also append the CredentialsUnavailable error variant used by the
fail-closed credential gate.
* feat(kms): implement AppRole login with background renewal and fail-closed expiry
Implement the AppRoleLogin token source (vaultrs approle login +
renew-self) and wire lease-bound credentials through the provider:
- Each successful login/renewal installs a new client generation in the
ArcSwap; in-flight requests finish on the generation they captured.
- A background renewal task refreshes at half the lease TTL: renewable
tokens are renewed in place, everything else (or a failed renewal)
falls back to a fresh login. Auth exchanges run under the typed retry
policy (OpClass::Auth) and failed cycles retry on a fixed cadence, so
the provider recovers once Vault does.
- Fail-closed: current() refuses to hand out a token inside the
configured safety window of its expiry (default: one attempt timeout),
returning CredentialsUnavailable instead of sending a request whose
token may lapse mid-flight.
- Refreshes are single-flight: concurrent triggers for the same
generation coalesce into one login.
- The renewal task's owner handle lives on the KMS service version:
stop() shuts it down explicitly and reconfigure recycles it via
cancel-on-drop when the old version is discarded.
- The secret_id file is re-read on every login attempt; missing or empty
files fail the attempt without contacting Vault. Crate-owned copies of
tokens and secret_ids are zeroized on drop, and Debug output of every
credential-carrying type stays redacted (leak regression tests).
The renewal machinery is covered by paused-clock tests driving a
scripted token source: renew-at-half-TTL timing, login fallback,
fail-closed window entry and recovery, prompt task recycling, and
coalesced concurrent refreshes.
* feat(kms): add Vault Agent token file authentication
Add the TokenFile source: the token is read from an agent-managed sink
file (RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN_FILE or the TokenFile auth config) and
re-read once per poll interval (default 30s) through the existing
renewal loop, so a token rotated by the agent installs a new client
generation within one poll of the atomic replace. Each successful read
extends the token's observed validity to twice the poll interval; a
file that disappears or turns empty keeps failing the refresh until the
fail-closed window trips, and heals the provider as soon as it is
restored.
Reads are strict and never contact Vault on failure: the file must be
non-empty after trimming, and on Unix group/other permission bits are a
hard error (mirroring the SFTP host-key rule). Rotation detection uses
a content digest; the token itself is never stored on the source and
the crate-owned copy is zeroized.
Configuring the token file together with AppRole or an explicit static
token is rejected as a configuration error. All new config fields are
serde(default) and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts the
new variant.
Covered by paused-clock tests (atomic replacement installs a new
generation next cycle, deletion fails closed and recovers, prompt task
recycling) plus negatives for missing/empty/over-permissive files and a
Debug leak regression.
* docs(kms): add Vault authentication and credential lifecycle runbook
Cover choosing between static token, AppRole, and Vault Agent token
file auth; AppRole role setup with SecretID delivery and rotation;
Agent sink deployment with the permission requirements; and the
fail-closed window semantics with a troubleshooting table keyed on the
renewal task's log lines.
* feat(kms): implement secure handling of static KMS secret keys and enhance encryption context validation
* feat: enhance local SSE DEK handling with JSON envelope format and versioning
scripts/check_logging_guardrails.sh flags any lowercase secret-named
identifier interpolated into a format string. The static-secret-file test
added in #5245 interpolates two fixture bindings (file_secret, env_secret)
into format! when constructing the secret file and env var, tripping the
heuristic and breaking make pre-commit on every branch based on main.
Rename the bindings to file_key_b64 / env_key_b64 so they no longer match
the heuristic. The fixtures are dummy base64 key material written to a
temp file and env var, not log output, and the test coverage is unchanged.
The guard script itself is untouched.
