I'm following Vault Configuration example referring from: https://spring.io/guides/gs/vault-config/. I've started server using windows machine.

vault server --dev --dev-root-token-id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

two environment variables to point the Vault CLI to the Vault endpoint and provide an authentication token.

set VAULT_TOKEN="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
set VAULT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8200

I am getting below error:

C:\Softwares\vault_1.0.1_windows_amd64>vault write secret/gs-vault-config example.username=demouser example.password=demopassword
Error writing data to secret/gs-vault-config: Error making API request.

URL: PUT http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/secret/gs-vault-config
Code: 403. Errors:

In windows,

Step1:

set the VAULT_TOKEN & VAULT_ADDR

SET VAULT_TOKEN=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

SET VAULT_ADDR=http://127.0.0.1:8200

Step 2: put the secret key & password using kv put

vault kv put secret/gs-vault-config example.username=hello example.password=world

I was able to solve the simply use set VAULT_TOKEN=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

There is change in creating key-value in Hashicorp Vault now. Use kv put instead of write.

>vault kv put secret/gs-vault-config example.username=demouser example.password=demopassword
