Sys::Virt::Secret(3)

NAME
Sys::Virt::Secret - Represent & manage a libvirt secret

DESCRIPTION
The "Sys::Virt::Secret" module represents a secret managed by the virtual machine monitor.

METHODS

my $uuid = $sec->get_uuid()
    Returns a 16 byte long string containing the raw globally unique identifier (UUID) for the secret.

my $uuid = $sec->get_uuid_string()
    Returns a printable string representation of the raw UUID, in the format 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX'.

my $type = $sec->get_usage_type()
    Returns the usage type of this secret. The usage type determines the format of the unique identifier for this secret.

my $id = $sec->get_usage_id()
    Returns the identifier of the object with which the secret is to be used. For secrets with a usage type of volume, the identifier is the fully qualfied path.

my $xml = $sec->get_xml_description()
    Returns an XML document containing a complete description of the secret's configuration

$sec->undefine()
    Remove the configuration associated with a secret previously defined with the "define_secret" method in Sys::Virt.

$bytes = $sec->get_value()
    Returns the raw bytes for the value of this secret, or undef if there is no value stored with the secret.

$sec->set_value($bytes)
    Sets the value for the secret to be $bytes.

CONSTANTS
This section documents constants that are used with various APIs described above

  SECRET USAGE TYPE
The following constants refer to the different usage types

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_NONE
    The constant for secrets which are not assigned for use with a particular object

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_VOLUME
    The constant for secrets which are to be used for storage volume encryption. The usage ID for secrets will refer to the fully qualified volume path.

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_CEPH
    The constant for secrets which are to be used for authenticating to CEPH storage volumes. The usage ID for secrets will refer to the server name.

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_ISCSI
    The constant for secrets which are to be used for authenticating to iSCSI storage volumes. The usage ID for secrets will refer to the server name.

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_TLS
    The constant for secrets which are to be used for authenticating for the TLS environment. The usage ID for the secret can be any name. The UUID for the secret will be used by the hypervisor to fetch the secret value.

Sys::Virt::Secret::USAGE_TYPE_VTPM
    The constant for secrets which are to be used for encrypting virtual TPM state. The usage ID for the secret will refer to the TPM path. The UUID for the secret will be used by the hypervisor to fetch the secret value.

  LIST FILTERING
The following constants are used to filter object lists

Sys::Virt::Secret::LIST_EPHEMERAL
    Include any secrets marked as ephemeral

Sys::Virt::Secret::LIST_NO_EPHEMERAL
    Include any secrets not marked as ephemeral

Sys::Virt::Secret::LIST_PRIVATE
    Include any secrets marked as private

Sys::Virt::Secret::LIST_NO_PRIVATE
    Include any secrets not marked as private

  EVENT ID CONSTANTS

Sys::Virt::Secret::EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE
    Secret lifecycle events

Sys::Virt::Secret::EVENT_ID_VALUE_CHANGED
    Secret value change events

  LIFECYCLE CHANGE EVENTS
The following constants allow secret lifecycle change events to be interpreted. The events contain both a state change, and a reason though the reason is currently unused.

Sys::Virt::Secret::EVENT_DEFINED
    Indicates that a persistent configuration has been defined for the secret.

Sys::Virt::Secret::EVENT_UNDEFINED
    The persistent configuration has gone away
