Programmatically Setting Secrets with the Vault API
Blog post from RWX
RWX has introduced an API endpoint for setting vault secrets programmatically, supporting automated workflows such as credential rotation. While OpenID Connect is recommended where supported because it verifies requests originate from RWX runs and issues short-lived credentials, vault secrets remain necessary for services that require stored credentials. Secrets can be set manually through the UI or CLI, or automated through the CLI for shell-based scripts and the API for code-based integrations, with API requests authenticated using an RWX access token. Stored secrets can be referenced in run configurations through expressions, preferably assigned to environment variables to avoid character-escaping issues, and their values are automatically masked in logs.
