ApsaraDB for MongoDB:DescribeDBInstanceTDEInfo

Last Updated:Jun 26, 2026

Queries whether Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is enabled for an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

Operation description

Note

For more information about this feature, see Settings for transparent data encryption TDE.

When you invoke this operation, the instance must meet the following conditions:

  • The instance is a replica set instance or a sharded cluster instance.

  • The storage DPI engine of the instance is WiredTiger.

  • The database DPI engine version of the instance is 4.0 or 4.2. If the database DPI engine version is earlier than the required version, you can invoke the UpgradeDBInstanceEngineVersion operation to upgrade the database DPI engine version.

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

TDEStatus

string

The TDE enabling status. Valid values:

  • enabled: TDE is enabled.

  • disabled: TDE is disabled.

Note

If the TDE status is disabled, the RoleARN, EncryptionKey, and EncryptorName parameters are not returned.

enabled

RequestId

string

The request ID.

F4DD0E29-361B-42F2-9301-B0048CCCE5D6

RoleARN

string

The global resource descriptor ARN (Alibaba Cloud Resource Name) of the role pending authorization.

acs:ram::123456789012****:role/aliyunrdsinstanceencryptiondefaultrole

EncryptionKey

string

The custom key of the instance.

Currently, only the following regions support Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), which allows you to manage and own encryption keys:

  • China (Hangzhou)

  • China (Shanghai)

  • China (Beijing)

  • China (Shenzhen)

  • Hong Kong (China)

  • Singapore

  • Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur)

Note

If BYOK is supported, you can manage and own the key, and the system returns your custom key. If BYOK is not supported, you cannot manage the key, and the system returns the string NoActiveBYOK.

2axxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

EncryptorName

string

The encryption algorithm.

aes-256-cbc
