UpdateSecretResponse

The following example shows how to modify the description of a secret.

To update the description of a secret

var client = new AmazonSecretsManagerClient();
var response = client.UpdateSecret(new UpdateSecretRequest 
{
    ClientRequestToken = "EXAMPLE1-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987EXAMPLE",
    Description = "This is a new description for the secret.",
    SecretId = "MyTestDatabaseSecret"
});

string arn = response.ARN;
string name = response.Name;

            

This example shows how to update the KMS customer managed key (CMK) used to encrypt the secret value. The KMS CMK must be in the same region as the secret.

To update the KMS key associated with a secret

var client = new AmazonSecretsManagerClient();
var response = client.UpdateSecret(new UpdateSecretRequest 
{
    KmsKeyId = "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/EXAMPLE2-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987EXAMPLE",
    SecretId = "MyTestDatabaseSecret"
});

string arn = response.ARN;
string name = response.Name;

            

The following example shows how to create a new version of the secret by updating the SecretString field. Alternatively, you can use the put-secret-value operation.

To create a new version of the encrypted secret value

var client = new AmazonSecretsManagerClient();
var response = client.UpdateSecret(new UpdateSecretRequest 
{
    SecretId = "MyTestDatabaseSecret",
    SecretString = "{JSON STRING WITH CREDENTIALS}"
});

string arn = response.ARN;
string name = response.Name;
string versionId = response.VersionId;
