## Vault Integration ## Vault Integration
### PKI Certificate ### PKI Certificate
This example acquires a PKI certificate from Vault in PEM format and stores it into your application's secret directory. Vault is a popular open source tool for managing secrets. In addition to acting
as an encrypted KV store, Vault can also generate dynamic secrets, like PKI/TLS
certificates.
When generating PKI certificates with Vault, the certificate, private key, and
any intermediate certs are all returned as part of the same API call. Most
software requires these files be placed in separate files on the system.
~> **Note**: `generate_lease` must be set to `true` (non-default) on the Vault PKI
role.<br /><br /> Failure to do so will cause the template to frequently render a new
certificate, approximately every minute. This creates a significant number of
certificates to be expired in Vault and could ultimately lead to Vault performance
impacts and failures.
#### As individual files
For templates, all dependencies are mapped into a single list. This means that
multiple templates watching the same path return the same data.
```hcl
template {
data = <<EOH
{{ with secret "pki/issue/foo" "common_name=foo.service.consul" "ip_sans=127.0.0.1" }}
{{- .Data.certificate -}}
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "${NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR}/certificate.crt"
change_mode = "restart"
}
template {
data = <<EOH
{{ with secret "pki/issue/foo" "common_name=foo.service.consul" "ip_sans=127.0.0.1" }}
{{- .Data.issuing_ca -}}
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "${NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR}/ca.crt"
change_mode = "restart"
}
template {
data = <<EOH
{{ with secret "pki/issue/foo" "common_name=foo.service.consul" "ip_sans=127.0.0.1" }}
{{- .Data.private_key -}}
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "${NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR}/private_key.key"
change_mode = "restart"
}
```
These are three different input templates, but when run under the Nomad job,
they are compressed into a single call, sharing the resulting data.
#### As a PEM formatted file
This example acquires a PKI certificate from Vault in PEM format, concatenates
the elements into a bundle, and stores it into your application's secret
directory.
```hcl ```hcl
template { template {

Most users should set `generate_lease=true` on the `pki/issue/foo` role in Vault's
PKI backend. If this value is not set, the template stanza will frequently render a new
certificate, approximately every minute, which is probably not what you want.
