Summary

The document provides a detailed guide on using Tines to manage application credentials by connecting with HashiCorp Vault through AppRole authentication. It is divided into two main parts: the first part guides users on authenticating to the HashiCorp Vault to obtain a token using AppRole, requiring the configuration of Vault address, namespace, and AppRole credentials. The second part explains how to retrieve a specific Vault secret using a configured HTTP request credential, ensuring the system is properly set up to match example configurations for successful API calls. Throughout the process, users are advised to ensure that their resources and credentials are consistently named and correctly placed within the code, with example configurations provided for both authentication and secret retrieval processes.
