Thank you so much for making this tutorial. Now I have a better understanding of the Vault. I am a Junior and it was a struggle for me to actually realise why we use this technology at my job and how it works. Thanks a lot!

Hi there, first of all thank you for making and uploading this video. I did learn a lot from Vault's features and setup. I do have a question however, is there a reason why it instantiates (at 40:48) a vault.db file that has a whopping 100GB in size? And if not, is there a way to control this size? Again, thanks for the video!

[@TeKanAid]

Thank you. I hadn't looked into it before. I don't think you can tune it. I came across this learn guide if it's helpful. learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/vault/performance-tuning?in=vault/operations#storage-backend-tuning

[@vincentverweij1053]

@@TeKanAid thanks for taking the time to reply and advise on this. Came across this documentation too. Tried to add in some config values, but it also seemed to me that you can't control the value. Strange that it takes up so much space. Anyway, thanks again!

[@TeKanAid]

@@vincentverweij1053 I actually took a look and don't see that large of a file. Not sure why you're getting that.

[@flesz_]

Thanks, does it mean Vault is used as a kind of proxy between client and servers? For example DB server credentials are staying the same, but vault can dynamically create different sets of creds rather than distributing DB credentials to applications. So in that case does it does it somehow works as reverse proxy for the credentials? :)

[@TeKanAid]

Yeah, it acts as a broker for secrets. Dynamic Database secrets are on demand secrets that get created on read from the client.

[@femya4572]

excellent teacher

[@TeKanAid]

Thank you!

[@hackedemotion]

Thanks for the nice video on vault, can you tell me how we can authenticate with value with an AWS Sso user ? With normal user when I pass access key and secrets it works but with SSO it is not Have to tried authenticating with vault using aws sso ?

[@TeKanAid]

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't seen this. There is an old discussion here, but seems to not be resolved discuss.hashicorp.com/t/vault-integration-with-aws-sso-saml-2-0/5461

[@trevorjames3953]

In my project, we use vault to login to different aws and on prem servers. We run the script vault login and it asks prompt we are willing to login like aws/azure/gcp and then it asks prod or np or dev , we shd pass on our creds linked to ldap, otp later which we get while we setup vault for individual thru generated secret. Just info for others

[@TeKanAid]

Thanks for sharing, Trevor!

[@TomerFatael-dw3yl]

What is the right way to manage the tokens in the secert.txt file? Moreover, what is the right way to manage the token we get from vault after authenticating?

[@TeKanAid]

These are great questions and I cover them all in my Vault 101 and Vault 202 courses, but quickly, the root token should only be used to configure auth methods. One of which should give admin access then you should revoke the root token. You can always recreate a root token from the unseal keys.

[@maitheenfarmannulla8178]

I have a doubt, could you please tell me why we need to create a group in the Hashicorp vault in three lines...

[@TeKanAid]

Hi Maitheen, we use groups to group entities. I go into much more details with examples in my course: courses.tekanaid.com/p/hashicorp-vault-101-certified-vault-associate You can also read this tutorial from HashiCorp: learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/vault/identity

Hi, My requirement is to implement TDE on DB2, is it possible through Hashicorp vault? Could you please let me know. Thank you!!

[@TeKanAid]

I have seen the use of Vault with TDE on MSSQL and Oracle, but have not seen it with DB2. I can ask the HashiCorp folks.

Suggest me how to import 100s of user name's and password's

[@TeKanAid]

best way is to either use the Terraform provider for Vault or use the Vault API

[@enabulelemartins7313]

I'm getting the below error, when I tried to enable log path ~$ vault audit enable file file_path=./logs/vault_audit.log Error enabling audit device: Error making API request. URL: PUT localhost:8200/v1/sys/audit/file Code: 400. Errors: * sanity check failed; unable to open "./logs/vault_audit.log" for writing: open ./logs/vault_audit.log: permission denied

[@TeKanAid]

This error message is indicating that the Vault server is unable to write to the specified log file path "./logs/vault_audit.log" due to a permission denied error. This could be caused by a few things: The directory "./logs" does not exist and needs to be created. The user running the command does not have permission to write to the specified directory. The permissions on the directory are not set correctly and need to be changed. You can check the directory is present or not using ls -ld ./logs and check the permissions of the directory using ls -ld /path/to/logs . You may need to adjust the permissions on the directory to allow the user running the command to write to it or you can run the command with root or sudo.
