vault/auth-method

Authentication method the plugin uses to connect to Vault.

Selects the authentication backend the plugin uses to acquire a Vault token. Defaults to "token", which makes the plugin use the static token in vault/token.

Supported values: - "token": use the token in vault/token (default; existing behavior) - "approle": log in via AppRole using vault/approle-role-id and vault/approle-secret-id; the plugin manages the resulting token's lifecycle (renewal + re-login at max_ttl) and vault/token is not required - "jwt": log in via Vault's JWT auth backend using vault/jwt-role and a JWT supplied via vault/jwt; the plugin manages the resulting token's lifecycle and vault/token is not required
