Environment variables
The Vault CLI will read the following environment variables to set behavioral defaults. These can be overridden in all cases using command-line arguments; see the command-line help for details.
The following table describes them:
Variable name | Value |
---|---|
VAULT_TOKEN | The Vault authentication token. If not specified, the token located in $HOME/.vault-token will be used if it exists. |
VAULT_ADDR | The address of the Vault server. |
VAULT_ADVERTISE_ADDR | The advertised address of the server to use for client request forwarding when running in High Availability mode. |
VAULT_CACERT | Path to a PEM-encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Vault server SSL certificate. |
VAULT_CAPATH | Path to a directory of PEM-encoded CA cert files to verify the Vault server SSL certificate. If VAULT_CACERT is specified, its value will take precedence. |
VAULT_CLIENT_CERT | Path to a PEM-encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Vault server. |
VAULT_CLIENT_KEY | Path to an unencrypted PEM-encoded private key matching the client certificate. |
VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY | If set, do not verify Vault's presented certificate before communicating with it. Setting this variable is not recommended except during testing. |
VAULT_TLS_SERVER_NAME | If set, use the given name as the SNI host when connecting via TLS. |
