VaultClient¶

class phalanx.storage.vault.VaultClient(url, path, credentials=None)¶

Bases: object

Store, retrieve, and manipulate data stored in Vault.

This client is specific to a particular Phalanx environment. It is created using the metadata of a Phalanx environment by VaultStorage.

If neither approle nor token are given, token authentication is used and the the token is taken from the VAULT_TOKEN environment variable or a .vault-token file in the user’s home directory.

url¶: URL of the configured Vault server.

path¶: Prefix path within Vault where secrets are stored.

Parameters:

url (str) – URL of the Vault server.
path (str) – Path within that Vault server where secrets for an environment are stored.
credentials (VaultCredentials | None, default: None) – Credentials to use for authentication. If this is not set, fall back on the default library behavior of getting the token from the environment or the user’s home directory.

Return type:: None

get_application_secret(application)¶

Get the secrets for an application currently stored in Vault.

Parameters:: application (str) – Name of the application.
Returns:: Mapping from secret key to its secret from Vault.
Return type:: dict of pydantic.types.SecretStr
Raises:: VaultNotFoundError – Raised if the requested secret was not found in Vault.

get_approle(name)¶

Retrieve metadata about a Vault AppRole if it exists.

Parameters:

approle – Name of the AppRole.
name (str)

Returns:

Metadata about the AppRole if it exists, else None.

Return type:

VaultAppRoleMetadata or None

get_environment_secrets()¶
