Retrieve HashiCorp Vault Secret via API

Short video showing how to use the Vault HTTP API to authenticate using GitLab's JWT and to retrieve a secret value from Vault. This is an alternative to using the Vault CLI.

Hey, how did you get the original token to call Vault?

Same question as Gazali Nawaz: where / how to get the JWT to call Vault to login to get the VAULT_TOKEN?

I laugh way too hard for that Konami code. Nice demo:)

Hi I get
echo $VAULT_LOGIN_OUTPUT
 {"errors":["missing client token"]}
echo $VAULT_TOKEN
null
Any idea what could be wrong?
