I have a Vault server running:
$ vault server --dev --dev-root-token-id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
$ export VAULT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8200
The Spring artifact has the spring-cloud-starter-vault-config maven dependency.
When using VaultTemplate, it writes and reads secrets without problem using the following methods:
VaultKeyValueOperations keyValue = vaultOperations
.opsForKeyValue("secret", VaultKeyValueOperationsSupport.KeyValueBackend.versioned());
keyValue.put("myPath", mySecretsObject);
and
VaultResponse response = vaultOperations
.opsForKeyValue("secret", VaultKeyValueOperationsSupport.KeyValueBackend.KV_2).get("myPath");
But, if I use write and read methods it throws errors:
vaultOperations.write("secret/myPath", mySecretsObject);
returns
{ "timestamp": "2019-11-19T18:22:52.156+0000", "status": 500, "error": "Internal Server Error", "message": "Status 404 Not Found [secret/myPath]: {\"request_id\":\"23062c09-f9cf-f170-930c-e6d60f98dd62\",\"lease_id\":\"\",\"renewable\":false,\"lease_duration\":0,\"data\":null,\"wrap_info\":null,\"warnings\":[\"Invalid path for a versioned K/V secrets engine. See the API docs for the appropriate API endpoints to use. If using the Vault CLI, use 'vault kv put' for this operation.\"],\"auth\":null}; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorException$NotFound: 404 Not Found", "path": "/vault/secrets/mySecrets" }
And for
VaultResponse response= vaultOperations.read("secret/" + environment);
String stringResp = response.getData().toString();
response is null. There is no error for the read, but I get NullPointerException when trying to read response, as it is empty.
I have found a question related to the write error -Vault error while writing - but it's in the context of the Vault CLI. Can't find how to apply the solution in a Spring environment.
