Yini Vault Secret Management

Vault Secret Management is the daily practice of using HashiCorp Vault to securely store, retrieve, and manage secrets (API keys, database passwords, tokens, certificates, etc.). Instead of secrets in code, .env files, or password managers, you store them in Vault. Applications and scripts fetch secrets on demand, with full audit trails and automatic rotation where possible. You use Vault CLI or API to store/retrieve secrets, manage authentication, and audit access. It's simpler than Enterprise integration but focuses on day-to-day operations.

❓ Imibuzo Evamile

How do I store a secret in Vault?

Use CLI: `vault kv put secret/my-app/api-key key=value`. Or HTTP API: POST to /v1/secret/data/my-app/api-key. Applications and scripts fetch it as needed.

Can Vault rotate secrets automatically?

Not for all secret types (API keys, custom secrets, no). But database credentials, AWS keys, etc., can be rotated. Depends on the secrets engine.

How do I authenticate my application to Vault?

Use AppRole (for services/containers), JWT (for apps with tokens), LDAP (for corporate users). Each method is suited to different scenarios.

What if I forget a secret I stored in Vault?

That's the point of Vault! You don't memorize secrets. Fetch them when needed: `vault kv get secret/my-app/api-key`. If you forget, recreate it.

How do I handle secrets in CI/CD pipelines?

CI/CD system authenticates to Vault (AppRole, JWT), requests secrets, uses them during build. Secrets never stored in code or .env files.
