How to use Boto3 to update the secret keys from a specific location in AWS Secret Manager
Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to update secret keys from specific location in AWS Secret Manager.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.
Step 2: secret_stored_location and secret_key_pair are the required parameters. Make sure secret_key_pair is written as string, not as dict.
Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name, while creating the session.
Step 4: Create an AWS client for secretmanager.
Step 5: Call update_secret and pass the secret_stored_location as SecretId and secret_key_pair as SecretString.
Step 6: It returns the metadata of updated secret.
Step 7: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while updating secret.
Example Code
Use the following code to update secrets in AWS secret Manager −
import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError
def update_secret_details(secret_stored_location, secret_key_pair):
session = boto3.session.Session()
s3_client = session.client('secretmanager')
try:
response = s3_client.update_secret(SecretId=secret_stored_location,SecretString = secret_key_pair)
return response
except ClientError as e:
raise Exception("boto3 client error in update_secret_details: " + e.__str__())
except Exception as e:
raise Exception("Unexpected error in update_secret_details: " + e.__str__())
a = update_secret_details('/secrets/aws', '{"user_test1":"test"}')
print(a)Output
