Java Vault Connector is a connector library for [Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io) by [Hashicorp](https://www.hashicorp.com) written in Java. The connector allows simple usage of Vault's secret store in own applications.
## Features:
* HTTP(S) backend connector
* Ability to provide or enforce custom CA certificate
* Optional initialization from environment variables
* Authorization methods
* Token
* Username/Password
* AppID (register and authenticate) [_deprecated_]
* AppRole (register and authenticate)
* Tokens
* Creation and lookup of tokens
* TokenBuilder for speaking creation of complex configuraitons
* Secrets
* Read secrets
* Write secrets
* List secrets
* Delete secrets
* Renew/revoke leases
* Raw secret content or JSON decoding
* SQL secret handling
* Connector Factory with builder pattern
* Tested against Vault 0.9.0
## Maven Artifact
```xml
de.stklcode.jvault
connector
0.7.0
```
## Usage Examples
### Initialization
```java
// Instantiate using builder pattern style factory (TLS enabled by default)
VaultConnector vault = VaultConnectorFactory.httpFactory()
.withHost("127.0.0.1")
.withPort(8200)
.withTLS()
.build();
// Instantiate with custom SSL context
VaultConnector vault = VaultConnectorFactory.httpFactory()
.withHost("example.com")
.withPort(8200)
.withTrustedCA(Paths.get("/path/to/CA.pem"))
.build();
// Initialization from environment variables
VaultConnector vault = VaultConnectorFactory.httpFactory()
.fromEnv()
.build();
```
### Authentication
```java
// Authenticate with token
vault.authToken("01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef");
// Authenticate with username and password
vault.authUserPass("username", "p4ssw0rd");
// Authenticate with AppID (secret - 2nd argument - is optional)
vault.authAppId("01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef", "fedcba98-7654-3210-fedc-ba9876543210");
```
### Secret read & write
```java
// Retrieve secret (prefix "secret/" assumed, use read() to read arbitrary paths)
String secret = vault.readSecret("some/secret/key").getValue();
// Complex secret
Map secretData = vault.readSecret("another/secret/key").getData();
// Write simple secret
vault.writeSecret("new/secret/key", "secret value");
// Write complex data to arbitraty path
Map map = [...]
vault.write("any/path/to/write", map);
// Delete secret
vault.delete("any/path/to/write");
```
### Token and role creation
```java
// Create token using TokenBuilder
Token token = new TokenBuilder().withId("token id")
.withDisplayName("new test token")
.withPolicies("pol1", "pol2")
.build();
vault.createToken(token);
// Create AppRole credentials
vault.createAppRole("testrole", policyList);
AppRoleSecretResponse secret = vault.createAppRoleSecret("testrole");
```
