# HashiCorp Vault
Centrally manage secrets, encryption, and access with HashiCorp Vault.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Centralizing secrets management
- Implementing dynamic credentials
- Managing PKI and certificates
- Encrypting sensitive data
- Meeting compliance requirements
## Prerequisites
- Vault server (dev or production)
- Vault CLI installed
- Network access to Vault
## Quick Start
### Development Server
```bash
# Start dev server
vault server -dev
# Set environment
export VAULT_ADDR='http://127.0.0.1:8200'
export VAULT_TOKEN='root'
# Verify connection
vault status
```
### Production Deployment
```hcl
# config.hcl
storage "raft" {
path = "/opt/vault/data"
node_id = "vault-1"
}
listener "tcp" {
address = "0.0.0.0:8200"
tls_cert_file = "/opt/vault/tls/vault.crt"
tls_key_file = "/opt/vault/tls/vault.key"
}
api_addr = "https://vault.example.com:8200"
cluster_addr = "https://vault.example.com:8201"
ui = true
```
```bash
# Initialize Vault
vault operator init -key-shares=5 -key-threshold=3
# Unseal (run 3 times with different keys)
vault operator unseal <key-1>
vault operator unseal <key-2>
vault operator unseal <key-3>
# Login
vault login <root-token>
```
## Secret Engines
### KV Secrets
```bash
# Enable KV v2
vault secrets enable -path=secret kv-v2
# Write secret
vault kv put secret/myapp/config \
username="admin" \
password="s3cr3t"
# Read secret
vault kv get secret/myapp/config
vault kv get -field=password secret/myapp/config
# Update secret
vault kv put secret/myapp/config \
username="admin" \
password="new-password"
# List secrets
vault kv list secret/
# Delete secret
vault kv delete secret/myapp/config
# Version history
vault kv metadata get secret/myapp/config
```
### Database Secrets
```bash
# Enable database engine
vault secrets enable database
# Configure PostgreSQL connection
vault write database/config/postgresql \
plugin_name=postgresql-database-plugin \
connection_url="postgresql://{{username}}:{{password}}@localhost:5432/mydb" \
allowed_roles="readonly,readwrite" \
username="vault" \
password="vault-password"
# Create role
vault write database/roles/readonly \
db_name=postgresql \
creation_statements="CREATE ROLE \"{{name}}\" WITH LOGIN PASSWORD '{{password}}' VALID UNTIL '{{expiration}}'; \
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO \"{{name}}\";" \
default_ttl="1h" \
max_ttl="24h"
# Get credentials
vault read database/creds/readonly
```
### AWS Secrets
```bash
# Enable AWS engine
vault secrets enable aws
# Configure root credentials
vault write aws/config/root \
access_key=AKIA... \
secret_key=secret... \
region=us-east-1
# Create role
vault write aws/roles/deploy \
credential_type=iam_user \
policy_document=-<<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:*"],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"]
}
]
}
EOF
# Get credentials
vault read aws/creds/deploy
```
### PKI Secrets
```bash
# Enable PKI engine
vault secrets enable pki
vault secrets tune -max-lease-ttl=87600h pki
# Generate root CA
vault write -field=certificate pki/root/generate/internal \
common_name="example.com" \
ttl=87600h > ca_cert.crt
# Configure URLs
vault write pki/config/urls \
issuing_certificates="https://vault.example.com:8200/v1/pki/ca" \
crl_distribution_points="https://vault.example.com:8200/v1/pki/crl"
# Create role
vault write pki/roles/web-server \
allowed_domains="example.com" \
allow_subdomains=true \
max_ttl="720h"
# Issue certificate
vault write pki/issue/web-server \
common_name="web.example.com" \
ttl="24h"
```
## Authentication Methods
### AppRole
```bash
# Enable AppRole
vault auth enable approle
# Create role
vault write auth/approle/role/myapp \
token_policies="myapp-policy" \
token_ttl=1h \
token_max_ttl=4h \
secret_id_ttl=10m
# Get role ID
vault read auth/approle/role/myapp/role-id
# Generate secret ID
vault write -f auth/approle/role/myapp/secret-id
# Login
vault write auth/approle/login \
role_id=<role-id> \
secret_id=<secret-id>
```
### Kubernetes
```bash
# Enable Kubernetes auth
vault auth enable kubernetes
# Configure
vault write auth/kubernetes/config \
kubernetes_host="https://kubernetes.default.svc" \
kubernetes_ca_cert=@/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/ca.crt
# Create role
vault write auth/kubernetes/role/myapp \
bound_service_account_names=myapp \
bound_service_account_namespaces=default \
policies=myapp-policy \
ttl=1h
```
### OIDC
```bash
# Enable OIDC auth
vault auth enable oidc
# Configure
vault write auth/oidc/config \
oidc_discovery_url="https://accounts.google.com" \
oidc_client_id="your-client-id" \
oidc_client_secret="your-client-secret" \
default_role="default"
# Create role
vault write auth/oidc/role/default \
bound_audiences="your-client-id" \
allowed_redirect_uris="http://localhost:8250/oidc/callback" \
user_claim="sub" \
policies="default"
```
## Policies
### Policy Definition
```hcl
# myapp-policy.hcl
# Read secrets
path "secret/data/myapp/*" {
capabilities = ["read", "list"]
}
# Database credentials
path "database/creds/myapp-db" {
capabilities = ["read"]
}
# PKI certificates
path "pki/issue/web-server" {
capabilities = ["create", "update"]
}
# Deny access to other secrets
path "secret/data/other/*" {
capabilities = ["deny"]
}
```
```bash
# Create policy
vault policy write myapp myapp-policy.hcl
# List policies
vault policy list
# Read policy
vault policy read myapp
```
## Application Integration
### Python
```python
import hvac
# Initialize client
client = hvac.Client(url='http://localhost:8200')
# AppRole authentication
client.auth.approle.login(
role_id='role-id',
secret_id='secret-id'
)
# Read secret
secret = client.secrets.kv.v2.read_secret_version(
path='myapp/config',
mount_point='secret'
)
password = secret['data']['data']['password']
# Get database credentials
db_creds = client.secrets.database.generate_credentials(
name='myapp-db'
)
```
### Kubernetes Sidecar
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: myapp
annotations:
vault.hashicorp.com/agent-inject: "true"
vault.hashicorp.com/role: "myapp"
vault.hashicorp.com/agent-inject-secret-config: "secret/data/myapp/config"
vault.hashicorp.com/agent-inject-template-config: |
{{- with secret "secret/data/myapp/config" -}}
export DB_PASSWORD="{{ .Data.data.password }}"
{{- end }}
spec:
serviceAccountName: myapp
containers:
- name: myapp
image: myapp:latest
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "source /vault/secrets/config && ./start.sh"]
```
## Common Issues
### Issue: Sealed Vault
**Problem**: Vault is sealed after restart
**Solution**: Implement auto-unseal with cloud KMS or HSM
### Issue: Token Expired
**Problem**: Application token has expired
**Solution**: Implement token renewal, use shorter-lived tokens
### Issue: Permission Denied
**Problem**: Cannot access secrets
**Solution**: Review policies, check token capabilities
## Best Practices
- Use short-lived tokens
- Implement auto-unseal
- Enable audit logging
- Use namespaces for isolation
- Rotate root tokens regularly
- Implement least-privilege policies
- Use dynamic secrets where possible
- Regular backup and DR testing
