Question #: 18
Topic #: 3
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

Which of the following statements describe the secrets engine in Vault? Choose three correct answers.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An authentication method should be selected for a use case based on the auth method that best establishes the identity of the client. The identity of the client is the basis for assigning a set of policies and permissions to the client in Vault. Different auth methods have different ways of verifying the identity of the client, such as using passwords, tokens, certificates, cloud credentials, etc. Depending on the use case, some auth methods may be more suitable or convenient than others. For example, for human users, the userpass or ldap auth methods may be easy to use, while for machines or applications, the approle or aws auth methods may be more secure and scalable. The choice of the auth method should also consider the trade-offs between security, performance, and usability.Reference:Auth Methods | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Authentication - Concepts | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

Wait, a secrets engine can't be enabled at multiple paths? That sounds odd!

The secrets engine in Vault is pretty flexible. You can store and read data, build custom engines, and each engine is isolated to its own path. I'm not sure about the disabling part, though.

Okay, let me think this through. The secrets engine can store and read data, and you can build your own custom engines. I believe each engine is isolated to its own path, but I'm not sure about disabling them once enabled.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the secrets engine. I know it has something to do with storing data, but I'm not sure about the details like disabling it or enabling it at multiple paths.

I feel like I should go with option D since it sounds most operationally efficient, but I wonder if using a Lambda function would provide better flexibility in some cases.

Okay, let's see. The user was synced in from LDAP, then deleted, then added back. I'm guessing the issue has something to do with the sync process and how the user is handled in the application.
