# SecureDataBag / Knife Secure Bag Knife Secure Bag provides a consistent interface to DataBagItem, EncryptedDataBagItem as well as the custom created SecureDataBagItem while also providing a few extra handy features to help in your DataBag workflows. SecureDataBagItem, can not only manage your existing DataBagItems and EncryptedDataBagItems, but it also provides you with a DataBag type which enables you to selectively encrypt only some of the fields in your DataBag thus allowing you to be able to search for the remaining fields. ## Installation To build and install the plugin add it your Gemfile or run: ```shell gem install secure_data_bag ``` ## Configuration #### Knife Secure Bag Defaults for the Knife command may be provided in your _knife.rb_ file. ```ruby knife[:secure_data_bag][:encrypted_keys] = %w( password ssh_keys ssh_ids public_keys private_keys keys secret ) knife[:secure_data_bag][:secret_file] = "#{local_dir}/secret.pem" knife[:secure_data_bag][:export_root] = "#{kitchen_dir}/data_bags" knife[:secure_data_bag][:export_on_upload] = true knife[:secure_data_bag][:defaults][:secrets][:export_format] = 'plain' ``` To break this up: `knife[:secure_data_bag][:encrypted_keys] = []` When Knife Secure Bag encrypts a hash with an _encryption format_ of *nested*, it will recursively walk through the hash from the bottom up and encrypt any key found within this array. `knife[:secure_data_bag][:secret_file]` When encryption is required, the shared secret found at this location will be loaded. `knife[:secure_data_bag][:export_root]` When exporting a data\_bag\_item, files will be created in below this root directory. Typically this would be the data\_bag folder located within your kitchen. `knife[:secure_data_bag][:export_on_upload]` When a data\_bag\_item is edited using `knife secure bag edit`, it may be automatically exported to the _export\_root_. `knife[:secure_data_bag][:defaults][:secrets][:export_format]` The configuration file additionally supports the _defaults_ has...
