DisconnectCustomKeyStore - Amazon Key Management Service
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

DisconnectCustomKeyStore

Disconnects the custom key store from its backing key store. This operation disconnects an Amazon CloudHSM key store from its associated Amazon CloudHSM cluster or disconnects an external key store from the external key store proxy that communicates with your external key manager.

This operation is part of the custom key stores feature in Amazon KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of Amazon KMS with the isolation and control of a key store that you own and manage.

While a custom key store is disconnected, you can manage the custom key store and its KMS keys, but you cannot create or use its KMS keys. You can reconnect the custom key store at any time.

Note

While a custom key store is disconnected, all attempts to create KMS keys in the custom key store or to use existing KMS keys in cryptographic operations will fail. This action can prevent users from storing and accessing sensitive data.

When you disconnect a custom key store, its ConnectionState changes to Disconnected. To find the connection state of a custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation. To reconnect a custom key store, use the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation.

If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.

Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a custom key store in a different Amazon Web Services account.

Required permissions: kms:DisconnectCustomKeyStore (IAM policy)

Eventual consistency: The Amazon KMS API follows an eventual consistency model. For more information, see Amazon KMS eventual consistency.

CustomKeyStoreInvalidStateException

The request was rejected because of the ConnectionState of the custom key store. To get the ConnectionState of a custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.

This exception is thrown under the following conditions:

  • You requested the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store with a ConnectionState of DISCONNECTING or FAILED. This operation is valid for all other ConnectionState values. To reconnect a custom key store in a FAILED state, disconnect it (DisconnectCustomKeyStore), then connect it (ConnectCustomKeyStore).

  • You requested the CreateKey operation in a custom key store that is not connected. This operations is valid only when the custom key store ConnectionState is CONNECTED.

  • You requested the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store with a ConnectionState of DISCONNECTING or DISCONNECTED. This operation is valid for all other ConnectionState values.

  • You requested the UpdateCustomKeyStore or DeleteCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store that is not disconnected. This operation is valid only when the custom key store ConnectionState is DISCONNECTED.

  • You requested the GenerateRandom operation in an Amazon CloudHSM key store that is not connected. This operation is valid only when the Amazon CloudHSM key store ConnectionState is CONNECTED.

HTTP Status Code: 400

CustomKeyStoreNotFoundException

The request was rejected because Amazon KMS cannot find a custom key store with the specified key store name or ID.

HTTP Status Code: 400
