Class CreateAliasRequest

java.lang.Object

com.amazonaws.AmazonWebServiceRequest

com.amazonaws.services.kms.model.CreateAliasRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class CreateAliasRequest
extends AmazonWebServiceRequest
implements java.io.Serializable

Creates a display name for a customer master key (CMK). You can use an alias to identify a CMK in selected operations, such as Encrypt and GenerateDataKey.

Each CMK can have multiple aliases, but each alias points to only one CMK. The alias name must be unique in the AWS account and region. To simplify code that runs in multiple regions, use the same alias name, but point it to a different CMK in each region.

Because an alias is not a property of a CMK, you can delete and change the aliases of a CMK without affecting the CMK. Also, aliases do not appear in the response from the DescribeKey operation. To get the aliases of all CMKs, use the ListAliases operation.

An alias must start with the word alias followed by a forward slash (alias/). The alias name can contain only alphanumeric characters, forward slashes (/), underscores (_), and dashes (-). Alias names cannot begin with aws; that alias name prefix is reserved by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The alias and the CMK it is mapped to must be in the same AWS account and the same region. You cannot perform this operation on an alias in a different AWS account.

To map an existing alias to a different CMK, call UpdateAlias.

The result of this operation varies with the key state of the CMK. For details, see How Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide.

String that contains the display name. The name must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). Aliases that begin with "alias/AWS" are reserved.

setAliasName

public void setAliasName(java.lang.String aliasName)

String that contains the display name. The name must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). Aliases that begin with "alias/AWS" are reserved.

Constraints:
Length: 1 - 256
Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9:/_-]+$

Parameters:

aliasName -

String that contains the display name. The name must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). Aliases that begin with "alias/AWS" are reserved.

withAliasName

public CreateAliasRequest withAliasName(java.lang.String aliasName)

String that contains the display name. The name must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). Aliases that begin with "alias/AWS" are reserved.

Returns a reference to this object so that method calls can be chained together.

Constraints:
Length: 1 - 256
Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9:/_-]+$

Parameters:

aliasName -

String that contains the display name. The name must start with the word "alias" followed by a forward slash (alias/). Aliases that begin with "alias/AWS" are reserved.

Returns:

A reference to this updated object so that method calls can be chained together.

getTargetKeyId

public java.lang.String getTargetKeyId()

Identifies the CMK for which you are creating the alias. This value cannot be an alias.

Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.

For example:

• Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

• Key ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-east-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

To get the key ID and key ARN for a CMK, use ListKeys or DescribeKey.

Constraints:
Length: 1 - 2048

Returns:

Identifies the CMK for which you are creating the alias. This value cannot be an alias.

Specify the key ID or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CMK.

For example:

• Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab
