Decided to use Hashicorp Vault Secret manager and spent days trying to read secrets using the hvac python module.
Faced permission issues even though I followed example code:
raise exceptions.VaultError.from_status( hvac.exceptions.Forbidden: 1 error occurred: * permission deniedI created a dev vault cluster managed by Hashicorp. Not sure if the issue exists if Vault cluster was hosted else where.
After specifying namespace in the
Clientmethod, I was able to read the secretDescription
Added namespace in the
Clientmethod and added a short comment. Also added another minor commentType of change
