# auth help
|
|
|
|
The `auth help` command prints usage and help for an auth method.
|
|
|
|
- If given a TYPE, this command prints the default help for the auth method of
|
|
that type.
|
|
|
|
- If given a PATH, this command prints the help output for the auth method
|
|
enabled at that path. This path must already exist.
|
|
|
|
Each auth method produces its own help output.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Get usage instructions for the userpass auth method:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault auth help userpass
|
|
Usage: vault login -method=userpass [CONFIG K=V...]
|
|
|
|
The userpass auth method allows users to authenticate using Vault's
|
|
internal user database.
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Print usage for the auth method enabled at my-method/
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault auth help my-method/
|
|
# ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
