vhsm unwrap

Learn to unwarp a wrapped secret from vHSM using a wrapping token.

The unwrap command is used to unwrap a wrapped secret from vHSM using a wrapping token. This operation is functionally equivalent to a vhsm read on the original secret. It is commonly used for secure transmission of sensitive information, such as credentials or temporary tokens.

If no token is provided, the unwrap operation will attempt to unwrap the secret associated with the currently authenticated token.

Usage

vhsm unwrap [options] [TOKEN]

• TOKEN: (Optional) The wrapping token to unwrap. If omitted, the current authentication token is used.

Examples

• Unwrap a wrapped secret using a specific token:

vhsm unwrap 3de9ece1-b347-e143-29b0-dc2dc31caafd

• Unwrap the secret associated with the currently authenticated token:

vhsm login 848f9ccf-7176-098c-5e2b-75a0689d41cd
vhsm unwrap
