Zzz additional info 002 all vault config

In Vault, you can list all configurations and settings depending on the secrets engines, authentication methods, and paths you want to query. Here’s how you can approach listing various configurations:


1. List Authentication Methods

To see all enabled authentication methods and their configurations:

vault auth list

Example Output:

Path           Type       Accessor              Description
----           ----       --------              -----------
azure/         azure      auth_azure_b1234567   Azure Authentication
token/         token      auth_token_d1234567   Token Authentication

View Specific Auth Method Configuration:

To view the configuration for an auth method (e.g., Azure):

vault read auth/azure/config

2. List Secrets Engines

To see all enabled secrets engines and their configurations:

vault secrets list

Example Output:

Path            Type       Accessor              Description
----            ----       --------              -----------
azure/          azure      secret_azure_1234567  Azure Secrets Engine
kv/             kv         secret_kv_23456789    Key/Value Secrets Engine

View Specific Secrets Engine Configuration:

To view the configuration for a secrets engine (e.g., Azure):

vault read azure/config

3. List All Mounted Paths

To see all enabled paths (both authentication and secrets engines):

vault list sys/mounts

Example Output:

Key              Type       Accessor              Options
----             ----       --------              -------
auth/azure/      azure      auth_azure_b1234567   {}
auth/token/      token      auth_token_d1234567   {}
secret/kv/       kv         secret_kv_23456789    {"version": "2"}
secret/azure/    azure      secret_azure_1234567  {}

4. List Policies

To see all policies configured in Vault:

vault policy list

5. Debugging and System Information

For more system-wide configurations:

  • View System Backend Mounts:
vault read sys/mounts
  • View System Configuration:
vault read sys/config/state/sanitized

Notes:

  • Vault does not have a single command to list all configurations across all paths at once. You'll need to explore individual paths for authentication, secrets engines, and other system settings.
  • The vault list and vault read commands are key to navigating the configuration hierarchy.

Let me know which specific configuration you're looking for, and I can guide you further!
