    Connecting to Vault

    Section link for Connecting to Vault

    Select the option Auto Connect to Vault to enable Vault Toolbox to automatically connect to Vault when you open the project. This skips the typical authentication process.

    There may be times where a user is unable to authenticate to Vault using Vault Toolbox, such as during a Vault upgrade. Set a value for the Connection Timeout to define how long Vault Toolbox should attempt to connect to the server. If Vault Toolbox does not successfully establish a connection within this specified duration, it aborts the login attempt and returns a timeout error. By default, the connection timeout is 15 seconds.

    Allowing All Certificates

    Section link for Allowing All Certificates

    Vault Toolbox uses the open-source Vault API Library (VAPIL) and requires public HTTPS certificates as a default. To use Vault Toolbox with a personal virtual machine (PVM), you must enable Allow All Certificates.

    Setting Default Values

    Section link for Setting Default Values

    You can save time by setting default values for authentication parameters and have them be used for further projects that you create. The following default settings are available:

    • Default Vault DNS: The default Vault DNS to use for new projects.
