Vault Proxy Authentication Methods
Approle
Some of Vault’s plugins support only Approle authentication.
For those types of plugins, you’ll need to specify role_id
& secret_id
, for using HVP you’ll need to use Access Id
& Access key
replacing role_id
& secret_id
correspondingly.
For example, Vault Approle authentication using HVP:
export VAULT_ADDR='https://hvp.akeyless.io'
vault write auth/approle/login role_id="<Access Id>" secret_id="<Access Key>"
JWT
To work with Vault plugins using JWT authentication for example GitLab:
job:
variables:
VAULT_SERVER_URL: 'https://hvp.akeyless.io'
VAULT_AUTH_PATH: jwt
VAULT_AUTH_ROLE: <Access ID>
id_tokens:
VAULT_ID_TOKEN:
aud: https://gitlab.com
set the VAULT_AUTH_ROLE
with your Akeyless Authentication Method Access ID
and the VAULT_AUTH_PATH
with jwt
. In general, the Vault role should be set with your Aceess ID
.
