lease renew

The lease renew command renews the lease on a secret, extending the time that it can be used before it is revoked by OpenBao.

Every secret in OpenBao has a lease associated with it. If the owner of the secret wants to use it longer than the lease, then it must be renewed. Renewing the lease does not change the contents of the secret.

Examples​

Renew a lease:

$ bao lease renew database/creds/readonly/27e1b9a1-27b8-83d9-9fe0-d99d786bdc83
Key                Value

lease_id           database/creds/readonly/27e1b9a1-27b8-83d9-9fe0-d99d786bdc83
lease_duration     5m
lease_renewable    true
